You can try it out. First 100 searches are free.

kagi sucks, it's basically just a metasearch for google, bing and marginalia

You should add these sites to the sticky:

There's a new open source, indieweb focused one I found on Hacker News called OpenOrb. Its decentralized and revolves around making your own instance unlike wiby and marginalia. Link to main instance: https://openorb.idiot.sh/search . Its basically a search engine that is curated from RSS/Atom feeds. It basically allows you surf blogs and articles from someone else's catalog. Also, DuckDuckGo is pozzed. Its 95% Bing, 5% their own results from their shitty webcrawler (they used to also include Yandex especially when used without JS but dropped them because of the Russia Ukraine war) and they have been caught violating their stance on privacy ( https://lemmy.ml/post/31321 & https://www.wired.com/story/duckduckgo-microsoft-twitter-ft-bush-assassination-whatsapp/ ).

Thanks for the links, will be looking into them
>I found on Hacker News called OpenOrb
Also saw that on HN yesterday lol. But it's not really a search engine for the web. It's just searching all the RSS feeds you subscribed to (if you selfhost). If you use someone else's instance you search their subscriptions basically. And I doubt that the index of any instance is bigger than marginalia. The marginalia dev created an export of all the domains upon request from the HN thread
downloads . marginalia . nu/exports/
(fuck off 4chan with their garbage spam detection)

>feedle
never heard about that one, thanks for the share anon

my recommendation: crowdview is good for programming questions

Imagine humping that thing every single night

I wrote my own pasta using previous knowledge and after reading the posts here. I heavily use surfraw to launch searches from anywhere, btw.

Get comfortable with using multiple search engines.

mwbl is the reddit of search engines

Crowdview seems down right now. It was also broken a few weeks ago when I tried it

>>100156676
Why no file searches?
And what does "deep tier" mean?
I also don't think that marginalia is "better" than mojeek, or that they should be in the same category.

>>100157435
I didn't have anything to add to file searches. The next OP can insert the file searches list. It's an open source text.
I could've written Great tier instead, I just meant Deep because a good search engine finds deep links.
Marginalia (in my experience!) has more interesting links than Mojeek. Putting Mojeek below fledgling Stract is perhaps unfair though

>>100156676
I also want to add that my view is heavily borrowed from this article: https://seirdy.one/2021/03/10/search-engines-with-own-indexes.html

Good links, will be including some of them in the next thread

How do you objectively know a search engine is good? Are there specific search terms you always test?

>>100158667
>Are there specific search terms you always test?
Yeah. I always search for something very specific to the uni I went and which is rather obscure. Some don't find it at all, the bigger ones all find it. Getting that as a top result is always a sign for me that the search engine has a big index.

>>100158667
I usually try searching things that are outside the mainstream (corporate websites, legacy media, & social media/platforms). I usually go with an edgy site (4chan, kiwifarms, agoraroad, random forums and altchans) to see if it has censorship or an indieweb site I found in some webring. Then I try to be specific by going through articles in my bookmarks or rss feed and see if the search engine gives it as one of its first websites.

Thought ddg was a meme but have been trying it lately and it werks.

Whatever. Being attracted to a japanese equivalent of a barbie doll or discussing whether it is old enough to be sexualized are mental illnesses in themselves
