Show HN: HayScout – Privacy first search engine funded by subscriptions
- rlnddschn 8y agoCreator here. I’ve always wanted a search engine that doesn’t harvest and sell my data, doesn’t track what I do and doesn’t display ads. HayScout is my attempt at providing such a service. It uses Bing to source results and requires a monthly subscription from users(limited free use). Still early days but I wanted to share my progress and ask for any feedback. Thanks!
- 4684499 8y agoPersonally speaking, I don't think Bing's result is worth paying for. I'd pay for Google's result without ads or being tracked or being collected. But there're already search engines like startpage (with ads), searx, etc, and they are free to use for now. I don't think pay for per query after exceeded the limit is going to work since users are used to unlimited queries.
