This is actually not bad at all. Whenever I want to get a feel for a search engine, I do the following searches: * 1U vax * 1U amiga * vax 5g netbsd The first tells me whether commercial interests are prioritized over other results. The second tells me whether titles and keywords are prioritized over content. The third, well, one can guess, tests whether the overwhelming number of results about "vax" and/or "5g" means the search engine doesn't even take "netbsd" in to account. For reference, I have what I think is the only 1U VAX in the world (VAXstation 4000/30 in a 1U case) and I have a 1U Amiga, but it's not the only one. For the last result, I posted on Twitter (before it turned evil) about a VAXstation 4000/90a connecting to the Internet using a 5G hotspot over USB. So lexy.uno did very well for the first search, did moderately OK for the second, and didn't fail spectacularly for the third. Considering how much other search engines suck, this is quite good!

That is my experience, I did a search for NetBSD. On almost all other search engines it had items I have seem thousands of time. Lexy came up with more interesting articles there where probably buried after pages of ads and AI crap.u

It's just scraping Google. The results are identical to Google's.

  Most search engines use similar algorithms, so it's natural for the results to be somewhat similar. However, the key concern is whether they are prioritizing ads over content value, and as far as I’ve used lexy, they are doing pretty well, especially considering they are newly starting.

    They're literally scraping Google on the backend and returning the results to the user as if they invented a new search engine. The links are exactly identical to Google's, in the same order.
