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)

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.
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
we’re working on it 😉 slow and steady and all that; we also fixed a bug with recrawl recently that should be improving things
do you remember any of the queries for which you were not satisfied? We’re always looking to improve
you can also send us in queries where we’re not perfect, or let us know elsewhere, and we’re keen on fixing them
and when people let us know where we fall down we’re able to make it better, growing alongside the userbase!
Hai qualche esempio in cui non forniamo molti risultati italiani? Vorremmo indagare su questo aspetto.
Swisscows does use Bing, Startpage uses Bing and/or Google depending upon where you are, we are fully independent: https://www.searchenginemap.com/ is a visualisation that might be useful
Sometimes it’s a hard one to remember 😅
this is correct 😀
spend a lot of time lurking; hard not to have a look for your own name 😀
yep, since 2004
8bn pages crawled and indexed in house by us, but if you want something a bit more fleshed-out: https://www.mojeek.com/about/why-mojeek
issa me!
We’ll try and get that okay up to a good and then a great as time goes by! There’s a submit feedback button on results pages if you’d like to be a part of that.
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
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 👏👏👏
