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
biased but i think they’re doing just swell (and getting better by the day) ;)
thank you kindly, that is great to hear; we’ve got this new and even better (so far testing is showing that) algo ready to go too: https://www.mojeek.com/eval so hopefully it’ll be even more fantastic-er soon :D
Currently looking at mojeek myself
How’d you find us?
We’re always on the lookout for feedback; if you are willing to send in the searches then it really helps us improve.
The Eval Page is also useful for this: https://www.mojeek.com/eval; there’s an improvement algo up there currently we’re getting testing done on.
Thanks for mentioning us nonetheless! You can help out with that journey, if you want, by chucking some searches (either new ones or old ones you remember being not so great) into the Evaluation Page and voting.
Lately I’ve been trying to use mojeek, which (to my understanding) unlike other sites like DDG actually has its own crawler whereas most alternatives are just frontends for google/bing.
This is correct, there aren’t many, and we recently passed 7.7bn pages. You can actually help with any wonkyness through feedback, but also we have this page which we trial new algos on; there’s a large update sat on it currently.
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)
