I’m not aware of this, can you clarify? Technically anyone can top up an account on Uruky and give it away to someone else.

Thanks for reporting this. We’ve used a professional translator for German (though we’ve added many new phrases that haven’t gone through that process since), and we speak Spanish and French (besides English and Portuguese). We use DeepL fo

Only if they don’t provide enough results. We initially queried them all and merged, but that became too costly and inefficient (too many duplicates most times). It should be explained in the FAQ.

Not for bitcoin, but for monero, which is more requested than bitcoin.

Dang. You’re right that Mojeek is UK, so Europe but not EU (at the moment, at least). I’ll need to add a remark for that. We already do it for Serper. Regarding the servers, our servers and data are in the EU. We can’t guarantee that for ou

Good point. We have never had any reports of customers legitimately hitting these, but we can probably loosen them up a bit.

Great point! In our comparison page with Kagi it should become clearer that’s not our only product differentiator. If you’re happy with Kagi, that’s great, it’s a very good product! We don’t want world domination. :)

Thanks! Serper is UK-based and does that. We provide them as an option, but not by default.

It’s currently a tiny “indieweb” index, which is why it’s opt-in right now, and not big enough to be in the ordering, yet.

It’s too small right now, so we don’t allow you to search it exclusively, yet. Eventually it should become a “proper” search provider once it reaches 100M urls or so.

Yes, and I’ve talked with Mullvad about it before. The main problem for us is that we cannot exchange XMR for fiat legally, in Portugal, and we have no costs that can be paid with XMR, at the moment. ProxyStore should work well as a proxy b

Thanks! Your point is quite valid and we do that. Unfortunately, the biggest problem with most "tech-illiterate" people we have is that they don't understand why they should care about privacy or what's "wrong"

Can you expand on the benefits of that when there is no personal information (not even an email or payment ID after 14 days) associated with an account?

Thanks for the suggestion! That would mean we'd have to count searches, which we don't want to do. With the 2h free trial via proof-of-work captcha it should allow you for much more than that! I know the FAQ for that is outdated!

Uruky does exactly that (it has an API and any searches fund the search providers directly). If you want to _exclusively_ use Uruky Site Search (our index), though, that'd be impossible as it's too small to be used as an exclusive

Thanks! We're currently trying to get in touch with proxysto.re for that. Light Spark seems based in the US, so we can't consider them, I'm afraid.

Thanks! I'm currently in the middle of building a date filter I expect to launch later today. Still, was this using Mojeek or EUSP? Have you tried Linkup or Serper for those kinds of searches? You don't have to change your default

Thank you so much, Adam! Hister [1] is also an amazing option for people looking to have their own "local" index! And it's FOSS! [1] : https://hister.org

It should be clear in the FAQ. All Europe-based. Our current search providers: - Mojeek - EUSP - Marginalia - Linkup - Serper (the only non-EU, being UK and proxying Google) - Uruky Site Search (our own index) - Pixabay (images) I'd be

Thank you for your suggestions and support! - Ouch. We get a lot of love for our UI/UX, which I guess just goes to show taste is personal. If you have any particular points of friction, we'd love to hear about them. - Only Serper

Good question! We also have Uruky Site Search, our own index, which is quite tiny at the moment, but we hope to grow, eventually. Kagi's own index is Teclis, which is one of their smaller providers as well.
