But it wasn’t a “deep state algorithm” that was hiding his website in Google search results, as the candidate, Mark Finchem, claimed on social media. Instead, the culprit was the campaign site’s own code.

Update: Several hours after publication of this piece, Finchem’s website was changed to remove the “noindex” directive that blocked it from Google and other search engines.
