> I think it would be great if someone made a meta-search engine with as many engines from that list as possible, and focussed on really good ranking. A tool like that could be best for obscurity and result quality. Unfortunately the meta-search engines that I know of don’t use many sources, and they don’t get all the available results before re-ranking them.
Thats a really interesting idea.
- n1xis10t 11mo agoThanks. I’ve been thinking about doing something like this for a while, and I was thinking that it could be a program that runs locally, scrapes the search result pages, re-ranks them, and then makes an html page and opens it in a web browser. I’ve done some small experiments, and some of the search engines take a while to get results from because they block you if you go faster than about 1 page per second, so you might end up waiting a few minutes before getting results. Waiting a few minutes (possibly as long as 10, probably no shorter than 2) to get better and more complete results that you can go as deep as you want into, with no ads. Is this something you would be interested in?
