DuckDuckGo starting to give more "personal" search results
  • thanks for mentioning us; Qwant also uses Bing (same as DDG) so if they don't have a personal parameter then it should be similar. That being said we (obviously) think people should give Mojeek a go :D

  • DuckDuckGo starting to give more "personal" search results
  • pretty much: https://www.searchenginemap.com/, used to be +the Yandex API

  • Any “small-web” search engines?
  • Choices do this very thing, you click a button and the search in the bar goes to that site, if you have this enabled in the search bar. If not they are present at the bottom of the results.

    We are in the process of open sourcing the library of choices so they are user-submitted.

  • Any “small-web” search engines?
  • our Search Choices might be of use here, different implementation but similar: https://blog.mojeek.com/2022/02/search-choices-enable-freedom-to-seek.html

  • What search engine do you recommend that isn't Google or Bing?
  • It's not currently got something live on it to test (you can use it but it should be the same results across both). If you wanna help out then let us know how you find Mojeek via this survey please!!!! https://blocksurvey.io/mojeek-user-survey-2024-mJmJ2bBcQDy9QtByOmJX7A?v=o

  • Google illegally maintains monopoly over internet search, judge rules
  • Search Engine Optimization Google Optimization

  • Google Is the Only Search Engine That Works on Reddit Now, Thanks to AI Deal
  • hello, we're quoted in the piece, set your parameters to look only since the change/recently i.e.

    Bing - Restricted to a week here and there is nothing
    Mojeek - We are not crawling due to the block, avoiding adding results without content

    As most are just using Bing's results (DDG, Qwant, Ecosia) you should see similar.

  • I'm really annoyed by how much Brave Search is pushing AI
  • sorry for taking a while to get back, raising this one on our feedback board; if you have any others there is a submit feedback button on the results pages you can use to just send it our way, not post it on a forum 🙏

  • Using Google whilst Duck Duck Go is down. How long has Google been this bad?
  • sorry for taking a while to get back but the main source of mojeek revenue is api sales, having people pay to access results for different applications (bing does similar i.e. duckduckgo, qwant, ecosia)

  • Linux May Be the Best Way to Avoid the AI Nightmare
  • Came here cos of the mention of Mojeek; will be coming back for this long quality list of things I can put on my phone 👏👏👏

  • Just a reminder we are the future of social media.
  • there's a safe mode if it's of use: nested in the settings gear menu but also on /preferences (to turn it on for all searches)

  • A look at search engines with their own indexes
  • working on it! If you have any searches not working for you then please send them in to us; it's one the main ways in which we identify issues and improve Mojeek for everyone.

  • Google won’t comment on a potentially massive leak of its search algorithm documentation
  • can't emphasise too much that this piece is a very necessary read for anyone who wants to know about search; not just because it says good things about us, but because of the depth of research which has been put in here. Most times you encounter an article about indexes they are just taking whatever a (meta)search engine says about themselves, not even looking at privacy policies for "relationships with microsoft" etc. or doing any comparative work.

  • Bing outage shows just how little competition Google search really has
  • people interested in alternative search tend to be in spaces that aren't your GAFAM big tech networks, we've been on masto since 2018 also

    not to come off as overly dismissive of people elsewhere, but you also find that the quality of discourse and people's willingness to think about things are both considerably more elevated

  • Using Google whilst Duck Duck Go is down. How long has Google been this bad?
  • yes we are indeed a standalone, the sizes of bubbles are reflections of the number of index-usage relationships yep is attached to ahrefs: https://techcrunch.com/2022/06/03/yep-search-engine/ where I can speak to where results come from, I couldn't tell you about their model

  • Google Is Paying Reddit $60 Million for Fucksmith to Tell Its Users to Eat Glue
  • we're working on it 😉 slow and steady and all that; we also fixed a bug with recrawl recently that should be improving things

  • Why I Lost Faith in Kagi
