Love to see more independent indexes! Sometimes there seems like there's plenty of search engines, but when grouped by the indexes they rely on there's actually very few major ones when you group them together
- Google, StartPage
- Bing, DuckDuckGo, Ecosia, AOL, Yahoo
- Yandex (mainly Russian)
- Brave (recently started its own index but often falls back on Google's)
Love to see projects like Marginalia and now this. These projects also make meta search engines like Searx[0] that much more powerful.
Anyways since I'm in the business of listing out relevant projects, other code-centered search engines you might wanna check out are searchcode.com[1], codesearch.ai[2], symbolhound[3], and publicwww.com[4] (some of these are often down, but might still be good to learn from)

- throwup 4y agoTo that first list you could add Kagi, who also runs their own index EDIT: Tough crowd, did Kagi get cancelled or something while I wasn't looking?
- marginalia_nu 4y agoKagi is to the best of my awareness mostly doing magic with Google results.
- smt88 4y agoKagi results are suspiciously similar to Google's. I don't think it's possible they're using their own index, at least not entirely. They must just be re-ranking Google results.
- freediver 4y agoWe do indeed have our own index (in addition to using external indexes). Every Kagi search result page will tell you the percent of results coming from our own index (for logged in users only currently). For example, take this search : https://kagi.com/search?q=steve+jobs&r=us&sh=OP2gxAxk3KEV_jMZH1_RHA https://kagi.com/search?q=steve+jobs&r=us&sh=OP2gxAxk3KEV_jM... 60% of results you see are coming from our own index. For most queries it is 10-30%. If you use the 'Non-commercial' filter this number may go up to 100% (because our index focus on non-commercial part of the web).
