When I think of a search engine I think of it as two things.
1. A web crawler
2. A search index
Or as a good boss used to say garbage in garbage out... the quality of the engine is as much a function of the index’s ability to rank as the quality of the input from the crawler... the fact that none of the other engines crawl with JS enabled is a huge competitive advantage for google
- hobs 7y agoWell sure, but you could also just make a website with a modicum of thought and then all search engines will have no problem. Anything that loads no resources unless I have javascript enabled (and is a general purpose website, not some 3d toy or whatever) is trash.
- damnyou 7y agoI mean, clearly this site has value to the OP so it is obviously not trash. What value a service provides is what matters in the end. Implementation details are secondary.

- missblit 7y agoBing also renders JavaScript [1][2]. Though there's not a lot of information out there about the details like what browser engine they use.
