this time, it will be different /s

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

no problem, this map might be useful: https://www.searchenginemap.com/

thanks for mentioning us; Qwant also uses Bing (same as DDG) so if they don’t have a personal parameter then it should be similar. That being said we (obviously) think people should give Mojeek a go :D

pretty much: https://www.searchenginemap.com/, used to be +the Yandex API

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 nothing
Mojeek - 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)

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.

people interested in alternative search tend to be in spaces that aren’t your GAFAM big tech networks, we’ve been on masto since 2018 also

not to come off as overly dismissive of people elsewhere, but you also find that the quality of discourse and people’s willingness to think about things are both considerably more elevated

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

do you remember any of the queries for which you were not satisfied? We’re always looking to improve

and when people let us know where we fall down we’re able to make it better, growing alongside the userbase!

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

This is correct, we are independent and have been since all the way back in 2004, 8bn-page index and growing 😀

spend a lot of time lurking; hard not to have a look for your own name 😀

yep, since 2004

coming up to 20 years of no tracking, 18 of having the first privacy policy to say it: https://web.archive.org/web/20060318104627/http://www.mojeek.com/privacy.html

hopefully a good consensus 😅 at least seen very little of people saying bad

you can smash the “submit feedback” button on the page when you get a duff search and send it into us, it’s how we improve: https://blog.mojeek.com/2024/02/major-algorithm-update.html

biased but i think they’re doing just swell (and getting better by the day) ;)
