  What do you think of my new search engine?
  • explosion-s 3y ago
    Does this just scrape google?
    • pm27 3y ago
      Nope

        How does it work? What's special about it?
        • pm27 3y ago
          Alternative web crawler from Google, and fully private. With no ads, monetization with affiliate links
          • slater 3y ago
            Does it use DDG / Bing for search results?

  Nice. Great results on a few tests. Bummer it won't process accented characters in foreign language though.
  • pm27 3y ago
    I need to fix that!!!
• beardyw 3y ago
  Good but results are US related. Probably needs to guess location? You will get these sorts of comments at this time of day!
  • pm27 3y ago
    I will add that soon!!!
• pm27 3y ago
  I will update with all these requests soon!!!

  In the footer both 'legal' and 'privacy' links go to pages that don't exist. With affiliate monetization every click goes to a third party (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VigLink https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VigLink) and the icons on the result page come from a third-party, it looks like Google, too (https://t2.gstatic.com/faviconV2?client=SOCIAL&type=FAVICON&fallback_opts=TYPE,SIZE,URL&url=https://www.lonelyplanet.com/mexico&size=48 https://t2.gstatic.com/faviconV2?client=SOCIAL&type=FAVICON&...).

  Tried searching for "searche". Your results are suspiciously similar to ones served by Duck duck go and Bing.... Interestingly Google doesn't allow me to search for Searche, trying to fix a typo instead... so funny!

  slow, bad segmentation of search results: - too much space between each entries - too much padding between lines of the result, get them together, the different font size/type usage already differentiates the content - doesn't offer anything new compared to market leaders - font used in search field errors on some of the accented characters (glyphs missing) try: lófasz

    I want to seperate the results for users. How slow??? When I use it loads in 1 second or less. I will change the last one soon. I will soon offer SearcheAI, an AI summarizer of current websites to answer your question appropriately, perhaps in a couple of weeks. NOT USING GPT!!!

      2-3 sec. Also, why just one page of results?
