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/

  • probably a sample size issue, we crawl and index everything we are able to; have seen many of this kind of site in the past, and finding them is something that other people have said they enjoy about mojeek

  • our preference is always to find out why the block is happening and try to convince people it should be otherwise; widespread abuse of robots.txt does no-one any good, having been crawling and indexing for so long it's a standard that we understand and are quite fond of

    we can see some of the perils and pitfalls of it too, but web builders need to be given some tools and assurances that those tools will work for them

  • IP already hits a wall, also better to not get a reputation as a bad bot, it's taken a while to get known for being friendly and respecting rules, to us you should follow robots

  • we make money mainly from our api, our investors are patient private capital and we don't take vc, appreciate your point but these are fundamentally different situations, our ads (when they run) will also be contextual so more of a ddg situation than a "makes users into products to be sold to advertisers"

    fair enough if it's not for you though

  • Has anyone done any research on the search engine Mojeek?

  • Thanks a lot; these have been raised.

    I think Mojeek is probably the only search engine that listens this much to user feedback. Is there a Lemmy community or something similar where one kann submit queries like these?

    We have a Discourse: https://community.mojeek.com/ but also take these direct from search results pages (there's a Submit feedback button) or via https://www.mojeek.com/about/contact. It's all super useful for us so thanks in advance.
