   Exactly. I stated calling systems that work this way "Bad by Design." Sometimes the design is deliberately setup that way by an individual or group with something to gain, but other times it is just because the system contains dif

   Cool, I've used Webhose and NewsAPI, but it's always good to have another structured news feed option. The one thing that sets these services apart is the ability to provide the full text of the articles vs. a snippet.

   The '+' operator was deprecated in 2011 [0]. Based on Google’s advanced operator page at one point, the addition of a plus sign to a search termed either prompted the lookup of Google+ pages or a blood type. '+' was repl

   Check out Runnaroo. It will respect those operators better than most. Disclosure, this is my side project. It aggregates results from about 30 different vertical search engines based on the query. Google is actually the source for the we

    One hopefully positive indicator is that yesterday new daily deaths in the US were lower than the day before (49 vs 57) [0]. Obviously it's only one day so time will tell if that means anything or a pattern occurs. As others have said

    I don't see it get mentioned much, but Yandex's reverse image search [0] will also match similar facial images. It works surprisingly well. Other search images can obviously perform this function, but I think most stay away from i

    Thank you! I should have said that in my original post. Search !bangs work for Google, Bings, DDG, Yandex, and Baidu. Navigational !bangs also work for many top sites (e.g. !wells -> wellsfargo.com).

    Agree on all fronts. I was really hoping that something already existed that would just work, but I couldn't find anything that fit the bill. I assumed that with GDPR (and now CCPA) there would have been a greater overall need for pri

    They don't publicize it too much, and there are some tricks to get it working as needed, but the documentation is below. https://developers.google.com/custom-search/docs/overview Just a note, it does not retu

    Thank you! A lack of design skills helps me keep things very clean and minimal. I think you are right though. Google has great organic web results, but I find the most value I get from them today are the instant answers and additional struc

    I also just came across this, https://www.ethicalads.io/ It looks promising, but it hasn't launched yet and I can't get the "subscribe to updates" form to send me a confirmation email.

    I agree completely. That would be the optimal solution, it would just take a lot of effort on top of the focus of building the core project. I was hoping to avoid the complexity of building my own ad system and selling the ads directly, b
