The alternative search engine that does what’s right, we believe that privacy is a human right and that a true alternative must have its own index 👉 https://www.mojeek.com/

Whoa, mama!
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 👏👏👏
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.
we’re working on it 😉 slow and steady and all that; we also fixed a bug with recrawl recently that should be improving things
you can also send us in queries where we’re not perfect, or let us know elsewhere, and we’re keen on fixing them
Sometimes it’s a hard one to remember 😅
spend a lot of time lurking; hard not to have a look for your own name 😀
yep, since 2004
thanks a lot in advance, and fedi is where it’s at ! 💯
sorry to hear that; if you are using us any point in the future and want to flag this, we have a “submit feedback” button on pages, this is a really useful thing to do for us, as it helps us to identify results which are not so good :D
no hidden catches no
howdy 👋
ah no bother at all, not everyone is gonna be across every single kind of company and they are functionally very similar!
good write up, we’re Mojeek Limited, not Mojeek LLC; LLC as a formation in the UK is called a “Private Limited Company” (PLC) which is contracted to .ltd or limited.
Thanks for the shoutout, it’s always much-appreciated. If you’re looking to test new things/ help us out in other ways, we’re testing a new algo :D
Lately I’ve been trying to use mojeek, which (to my understanding) unlike other sites like DDG actually has its own crawler whereas most alternatives are just frontends for google/bing.
This is correct, there aren’t many, and we recently passed 7.7bn pages. You can actually help with any wonkyness through feedback, but also we have this page which we trial new algos on; there’s a large update sat on it currently.
this time, it will be different /s
