Go check search.marginalia.nu. Do some sample searches about history or linux or git or something and see how it often outclasses Google.
Then ponder the fact that it is run by one Swede and it runs on one (admittedly beefy but nothing unusual) workstation in his living room.
Personally at least I have seen enough to have made up my mind that it isn't impossible to do better than Google, they just don't want to.
- swatcoder 4y agoDid you read my whole comment? I even mention Marginalia!
- eitland 4y agoI clearly didn't read your whole post. Have my upvote. That said I think my point still stands: If 1 Swede and 1 server can do a much better job than Google in significant niches such as history, Linux and Git, then maybe a hundred Swedes and 10 000 servers can outcompete Google across the board for traditional search, leaving Google to deal with plane tickets and local search? ; - ) And no, I'm not a Swede.
