Looks like they are using Bing / Microsoft for their search
- danskeren 5y agoThey list their data sources here: https://hilfe.nona.de/features/datenquellen https://hilfe.nona.de/features/datenquellen Bing for Web+Image (and I assume News+Video) Search, ListenNotes for Podcast, OpenWeatherMap for their Instant Answer weather results, etc. I like their UI, and as far as I can tell then their icons are custom made, at least I can't find them anywhere.
- ryantgtg 5y agoSeems like most new search engines are “bing + some other sources.” Just wondering, does Bing charge for this use? Personally, in the past month I’ve noticed a significant degradation of results from DDG, and since I don’t know what’s going on I just blame Bing. Because of that, each time we have posts about alternative engines I first check to see if they’re not using Bing. But they all are!
- lopis 5y agoYes, Bing charges for use of their API. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/bing/apis/pricing https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/bing/apis/pricing
- l5870uoo9y 5y agoYes and a few other data sources for weather, stocks and so on (https://hilfe.nona.de/features/datenquellen https://hilfe.nona.de/features/datenquellen). And it's made with Symfony (https://hilfe.nona.de/ueber-nona/technik-tools https://hilfe.nona.de/ueber-nona/technik-tools).
- trutannus 5y agoRegardless, they return far better search results for queries in German than Google does. For example, if you look for something about a changing legislation in the Bundestag, they will have articles published in the past 30 minutes, where as Google won't surface the same articles for a few weeks.
