@ravelin @zenhob Do any exist?
I'm pretty sure everyone either does it themselves, or is a thin wrapper around the index of someone who does on the back end.
There's no user-respecting search engines that focus on delivering quality results rather than selling ads anymore.
And you can't create one, because everyone is so busy blocking AI crawlers with cloudflare and anubis and what have you that it's virtually impossible to build a "good" web crawler in 2025.
Without the index, your search engine is toast.
@azonenberg
Kagi is pretty good. It basically runs queries against the major searchers and then unenshittifies them for you, for a monthly fee, very reasonable price if you buy a family subscription.
@ravelin @zenhob
@dlakelan @azonenberg @ravelin @zenhob They also partially use their own little index.
