The alternative search engine that does what’s right, we believe that privacy is a human right and that a true alternative must have its own index 👉 https://www.mojeek.com/
Came here cos of the mention of Mojeek; will be coming back for this long quality list of things I can put on my phone 👏👏👏
there's a safe mode if it's of use: nested in the settings gear menu but also on /preferences (to turn it on for all searches)
can't emphasise too much that this piece is a very necessary read for anyone who wants to know about search; not just because it says good things about us, but because of the depth of research which has been put in here. Most times you encounter an article about indexes they are just taking whatever a (meta)search engine says about themselves, not even looking at privacy policies for "relationships with microsoft" etc. or doing any comparative work.
we're working on it 😉 slow and steady and all that; we also fixed a bug with recrawl recently that should be improving things
do you remember any of the queries for which you were not satisfied? We're always looking to improve
you can also send us in queries where we're not perfect, or let us know elsewhere, and we're keen on fixing them
and when people let us know where we fall down we're able to make it better, growing alongside the userbase!
Hai qualche esempio in cui non forniamo molti risultati italiani? Vorremmo indagare su questo aspetto.
Sometimes it's a hard one to remember 😅

Thanks a lot for sharing such a detailed rundown of what you find Mojeek to be useful for. I've shared this with the wider team.
This being said, if you have things that you'd like to wing our way in terms of improvements, or feedback on individual results, our inbox is always open (aloe at mojeek dot com) and there's a submit feedback button on results pages. Mojeek thrives and grows off of feedback, the good and the bad 🙏
https://www.mojeek.com/about/privacy/, just in case anyone doesn't want to append the y :D
are you able to let us know what you use Mojeek for? Just interested in where we slot in
thanks a lot for shouting us out, Marginalia is also impressive (basically a one-person project etc.), the random button is delightful
thanks a lot in advance, and fedi is where it's at ! 💯
sorry to hear that; if you are using us any point in the future and want to flag this, we have a "submit feedback" button on pages, this is a really useful thing to do for us, as it helps us to identify results which are not so good :D
coming up to 20 years of no tracking, 18 of having the first privacy policy to say it: https://web.archive.org/web/20060318104627/http://www.mojeek.com/privacy.html
hopefully a good consensus 😅 at least seen very little of people saying bad
you can smash the "submit feedback" button on the page when you get a duff search and send it into us, it's how we improve: https://blog.mojeek.com/2024/02/major-algorithm-update.html
