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/

  • Mojeek also displays significantly more individual entries in its search results than Google or Bing

    Ah, yeah, that's from a blogger called Jack Yan who writes a lot on how many results you can actually get out of results 1-10 from n. What he's saying there, which is correct on checking, is that we will always display 1,000 results when we have them, whereas Google and Bing tend to either stop when you get somewhere in the 200/300s, or just repeat results.

  • Thanks a lot, I've raised the Kdenlive query. When it comes to searching for stuff with "yt-dlp" you mean there's normally another phrase or words in the query? Do you have an example; understand the problem but just trying to raise it with as much of a solid example as possible 🙏

  • let us know if you find anything which could be better also, we're always looking for ways to improve

  • Whoa, mama!

  • thanks for flagging this, will get it raised

  • Got any examples of searches you could do with seeing improvement on? A big part of our process is collecting these (as well as identifying issues in crawling off the back of them)

  • plz do not sue us

  • this comparison

    the table you've cited is very out of date when it comes to us and other inclusions

    being backed or debated at least by UK politicians

    We came up in Hansard yonks ago 2011, mentioned by one MP

    they do have individualized answers as well

    I don't quite follow but if you mean results are personalised can I ask where you got that information? One of our main things is that we don't affect results based upon much more about you than country-level boosts

  • thanks a lot for mentioning us; you can send us in searches which could be better via the submit feedback button on results pages, if you'd like :D

  • noone expected this

  • Choices do this very thing, you click a button and the search in the bar goes to that site, if you have this enabled in the search bar. If not they are present at the bottom of the results.

    We are in the process of open sourcing the library of choices so they are user-submitted.

  • Search Engine Optimization Google Optimization

  • hello, we're quoted in the piece, set your parameters to look only since the change/recently i.e.

    Bing - Restricted to a week here and there is nothingMojeek - We are not crawling due to the block, avoiding adding results without content

    As most are just using Bing's results (DDG, Qwant, Ecosia) you should see similar.

  • sorry for taking a while to get back, raising this one on our feedback board; if you have any others there is a submit feedback button on the results pages you can use to just send it our way, not post it on a forum 🙏

  • sorry for taking a while to get back but the main source of mojeek revenue is api sales, having people pay to access results for different applications (bing does similar i.e. duckduckgo, qwant, ecosia)

  • 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 👏👏👏

  • 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)

  • working on it! If you have any searches not working for you then please send them in to us; it's one the main ways in which we identify issues and improve Mojeek for everyone.

  • 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.
