Seems super nice.
I can't find the code repo, is it FLOSS?

[–] 3cctpe@lemmy.ml 8 points 3 years ago (1 children)

From what i have read, no. However it is new so maybe that will change.

I've never heard of this but it seems really cool.

I tried a few searches and everything its pulling up looks like late 90s internet. I love it. Its all personal, small, niche or passionate fan websites.

Its a nice way to filter out all of the big media, corporate, etc. Websites that usually clog my searches.

I can totally see myself using this on a regular basis. Thanks for sharing!

awesome idea

There are engines I use to see past the useless SEO clickfarms that plague google results:

  • https://wiby.me (focuses of non-commercial, lightweight websites. websites can be manually submited. not many results, but usually high quality.)
  • https://millionshort.com (Metasearch engine which filters the top 100/1k/10k/100k/1M ranked sites, exposing obscurer sites which may be highly novel)
  • https://duckduckgo.com (I'm sure everyone here knows about it, it's pretty solid. At least it finds forum discussion unlike google.)

Since time ago in my search engine list, among with 50 others.

I really like this idea, unfortunately the result quality seems unusable for now.

The keyword "Eisenbahn" (railway) leads to "Adolf Hitler - Mein Kampf" as the 3rd result ...
