I selfhost what I gain and try to degoogle as well.

    You guys just need time, I think. I’ll probably be a proud Mojeek user in the future, but for now I need something a bit different. That said, I have found Mojeek to be excellent for finding smaller blogs and articles that I wouldn’t otherwise have read, so it’s still pretty useful even if I don’t use it as my main engine.

        First time I’ve heard of your project. it looks great!

        Do you have any place you’d like to collect result issues? I’d be willing to run it for a while and give feedback on anything out of whack.

        The biggest problem I see in about 10 minutes of playing with it:

        Official documentation gets trampled by older fan docs.

        q=“Setting up Tailscale on Linux”

        In a perfect world would give you “https://tailscale.com/kb/1031/install-linux

        Bing, Google, Quant, all rate that high (#1), it’s a universal instruction page for most linux.

        q=“Tailscale” does bring me right to the official site.

        q=“site:tailscale.com tailscale setup” does net a couple of results from their kb, but not 1031.

        another example

        q=“Pinokio Setup”

        expecting to headline pinokio.computer as the official site, but there’s nothing on the first page.

        changing it to q=“pinokio” drops you right on the pinokio.computer

        q=“site:pinokio.computer pinokio setup” results in no results

        It’s super responsive, please keep up the good work!

          Thanks a lot, these are very useful and will be raised. For further feedback there is https://www.mojeek.com/about/contact and also a submit feedback button on results pages.

          Bing, Google, Quant, all rate that high (#1), it’s a universal instruction page for most linux.

          Just in case you didn’t know, Qwant will have that high because they use Bing’s index.
