Well, they didn't innovate. They didn't add anything new to searches nor can I find a real differentiator in the product. It's a "privacy search engine that uses bing... but French!".
It's not federated, open-source and written in a fancy language like Rust, doesn't remunerate people in some special way (a crypto currency of some sort), doesn't have a groundbreaking browser-extension, there are no special integrations with any services, no new ways of filtering stuff (e.g a list of people who rate search results that you can subscribe to), just... there's nothing really attractive or catchy about it.
They could've taken or forked Yacy (federated, opensource search engine), dumped those millions into it and made it a serious project, but alas
- drannex 5y agoThey don't use bing for the most part, they have their own crawlers and their results are far better than nearly any other competitor. I have been a happy user for the past two years. They use Bing for their ad network, and to sometimes (rarely) produce results when their own crawlers fail.
