Thanks for all the information! Is there anywhere I can go to read the patent application?

Also, when I try to click on the about pages on the website, it says {"error":"Authentication required"}

Cool! Does ranking use term proximity of any kind, or anything similar to pagerank? I only get 45 results for cheese. I should get far more results for cheese from an index of 2 million pages. How many pages are indexed? Is it actually 52K

What do you think it would take to do a global version? How much hard drive space does just London take up?

How many images does it have? Does it index the text of pages that hold images, or captions? How does it work?

Huh. Yeah also in the FAQ they say that the reason why they return so few results is just because their ranking is so fantastic: https://help.kagi.com/kagi/faq/faq.html#why-does-kagi-return... I feel like that is

Hi Doug! So I skimmed the article, and it seems like the gist of it is that you want search providers to make APIs available that give top n results without doing anything silly past that. Is that correct? And then the idea is that further

LLMs are garbage that will never replace keyword search. This article shares my opinions on the matter: https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s10676-024-097... Google is supposed to have competitors b

I think it’s gotten worse, but as for how much worse and whether or not Google is better I’m not sure. I think I have noticed a few times when quotes didn’t work, but I think recently I’ve been noticing that I put things in quotes and then

It wouldn’t cost 24 million. If you make a small search engine as a prototype to develop better ranking and other things, that only costs time and mental energy. If you make a meta-search engine in the style of Searxng, that also only costs

Oh, yes you’re right. I didn’t read the whole thing, which was clearly a mistake. I apologize. Good job with the article, and thank you. It’s pretty funny that they only get the excerpts.

I’m not sure that your test is conclusive. It would be if the only way that OpenAI indexed new websites was to find them linked from other places, but I think they have other methods as well. This article from Cloudflare is about the behavi

Do you mean why doesn’t he make a search engine? If so, that’s very silly. First of all, if he is working on a search engine, why would he tell people while complaining about Google? That would just make it seem spammy. Also even if he isn’

If it’s any comfort to you, I read your whole post and enjoyed it. Since it’s on the topic of search engines being stupid, I think I have to share this article: https://archive.org/details/search-timeline

Oh really? That’s cool, how much have you crawled so far?

by n1xis10t 1y ago
Yes, it seems to be the case. Yes, it alarms me too. The question is what can be done about it? There are supposed to be good alternatives to Google, but for whatever reason search engines keep disappearing. Here is an article that I read a

No problem. I’m not concerned about duplicates existing, I just want everyone to be aware of the whole conversation.

Are you not bothered by a large volume of results that seem AI generated?

Oh funny, thanks for that. I was experimenting with keyword recommendation the other day, and I told a friend that the keywords which appear in 19% of the results for a query seem like the most useful and relevant to the original query. He

Sounds to me like they were having trouble scraping Google, and didn’t want to allocate the man power to stay on top of it. The main problem is that Google desperately wants you to run their JavaScript. They implemented a JS requirement a f
