Not sure why this got killed - it's an extremely relevant comment that I was about to make myself.
Context: This site was linked in a comment the other day in the "Lesser-Known Search Engines That Are Worth Checking Out" thread [1]. It's a search engine for "old internet" style sites such as this one, and the S/N ratio is so high they even have a "surprise me" button that more often than not gets you something interesting.

- 3xblah 8y agoI saw it mentioned on HN at least 12 mos ago. What is the story behind it? Does not appear to use Google or Bing. In a way, it has the effect of being something like "AMP" before that project was started: a way to encourage or filter for smaller, faster webpages (but even better, without the injected advertising).
