Stract.com open search engine a guy built in his basement. It is not perfect but feels like Google used to in the late 90s, when you had real results

Thanks, I’ve never heard of this. I’ve been using Brave Search + DDG + Marginalia

Wow reading through these comments makes me a little sad. Most people still don’t know jack about search engines or how they differ under the hood, or eve just how to add them into your browser search bar. Looks like all the effort I put into that that simple search engine guide was in vain.

ILikeBoobies ,

Thanks

Yacy seems to be what I want but I am worried about the content that would get indexed

niktemadur ,

Well that was a spectacular read in your link, keep calling attention to it, 'cause it’s gonna be a constant drip-drip-drip of people finding out. I didn’t know, but starting today, I’m gonna experiment with SearXNG as my primary search engine, see how that goes!

sgbrain7 ,

Thanks for making such an interesting guide! I’ll read through this and hopefully learn more about search engines and what would work the best for me.

Clean up your tabs please. Omg

jetsetdorito ,

The “Delete tabs after 1 week” has been great

isVeryLoud , (edited )

Nah, I like to suffer.

(I don’t use tabs on mobile so I forget they exist)

icedterminal ,

Lmao

nul9o9 , (edited )

This is the first time I’ve seen Kagi, I’ll check them out. I’ve been pretty happy with SearxNG.

I really love Kagi, it’s been worth the money for me!

I can block results, re-order result priority, enable or disable any feature I want, and their AI summary feature is actually good and is locked behind a click (Quick Answer) so it doesn’t trigger on every search. Also obviously no ads and no tracking.

terminhell , in Redirect to prevent back button

Not sure about that site specifically, but others that’s done it to me was easy to get around. Most of them are thwarted with basically double clicking the back button.

intensely_human ,

As the screenshot illustrates, the redirects have been repeated many times to thwart that strategy.

terminhell ,

I get that, forgot to mention that clicking the back button very very fast is what usually works for me.

Regardless, it’s annoying af

Much more likely to be mildew. Still gross, but not toxic.

It’s gone really downhill ever since co-pilot

It’s hard to call it better than Google now

derpgon ,

Is it still good for porn, at least?

ILikeBoobies ,

No :’(

Arbitrarily it will cut off your search and now they just add irrelevant “search for this next” garbage to make it look less barren

dependencyinjection ,

Yall use a search engine to search for porn? Like you don’t just open a private tab, go to PornHub and then click something.

Y’all use incognito mode?

“Hmm, share on Facebook? Don’t mind if I do!”

dependencyinjection ,

Yeah I don’t want certain things autofilling if someone is using my phone.

derpgon ,

It’s a meme, Bing was apparently actually good when looking up porn.

JackbyDev ,

Was it or was that guerilla marketing?

derpgon ,

Not sure, never tried lol

BlameTheAntifa , in M*crosoft's search engine is borderline unusable

Borderline?

There’s still DuckDuckGo, or Kagi if you are rich.

superglue ,

Doesnt Duck use bing?

Xabis ,

Yes.

dantheclamman ,
@dantheclamman@lemmy.world avatar

Yes, and DDG has really been degrading over the last few months in quality of results imo.

MoogleMaestro ,

I noticed this as well. It’s a shame as I still use it as my daily search driver.

JackbyDev ,

I’ll be honest, DDG has never blown me away and I’ve been using it for roughly 5 years. It’s not awful or anything, but maybe once every month or two I need to resort to Google because it can’t find something. I’m absolutely willing to sacrifice some quality for privacy in the general case, though.

dantheclamman ,
@dantheclamman@lemmy.world avatar

Yes, it has never been the best in terms of relevance or depth of index. But lately when I do searches for something like “cherry shrimp aquarium water quality requirements” I’ve been overwhelmed by AI-written SEO blogs. Where google still pulls up results from forums, reddit, other relevant actual humans talking.

    If that is what an easy to clean outer surface looks like… just imagine what the inside looks like.

    Kaiyoto , in Black mold growing on the dispensers at my local McDonald's

    I remember working in fast food and almost nobody ever thought to clean the nozzles or clean out the ice bin.

    There is probably a ton of mold inside where the ice is kept.

    idiomaddict , (edited )

    Friendlys does! Unfortunately, if I remember correctly, we “cleaned” them by letting them sit in seltzer and then wiping them off before reattaching them. I’m only now realizing that we went to so much effort to do that, but using the same sanitizer as the soft serve machines would have been significantly more effective and easier.

    It at least keeps things like black mold or giant bacterial colonies from getting hold, but it’s kind of pointless.

    When I worked at subway… Fuck me 10 years ago this month…

    We pulled them nipples and the inserts off every night and rinsed them in hot water, then left em overnight in sanitizer solution, and I (being 6’4") had to clean the ice holder every 2 weeks to a month, never got told bad in there thanks to that

    There was a picture our boss would show you of what happens when you don’t that convinced everybody to clean it religiously. We got free drinks from the machine, after all, we’d only be killing ourselves faster with that shit being dirty

    I just use Google with uBlock Origin to get rid of adverts

    f4f4f4f4f4f4f4f4 , in Black mold growing on the dispensers at my local McDonald's

    Employees can daily clean as much of the machine as they can access, and there will still be a bit of black biofilm in there (not mold). The same biofilm lives down in all of your sink drains.

    michaelmrose , in M*crosoft's search engine is borderline unusable

    Your search query is garbage incidentally. Unifying is a “feature” not the name of any particular software. You should have searched for the model of your hardware

    Starbuncle ,

    That seems to be untrue.

    dual_sport_dork ,
    @dual_sport_dork@lemmy.world avatar

    …Nnnnno, there is literally a tool from Logitech called “Logitech Unifying Software,” which is the applet you need to reassign a Logitech Unifying receiver to a different device.

    …logi.com/…/360025297913-Unifying-Software

    michaelmrose ,

    It’s describing the FEATURE! There are no downloads listed for a feature for a reason… you don’t load the actual software for instance “logitechoptions” “logitech options+” “G hub”

    dual_sport_dork ,
    @dual_sport_dork@lemmy.world avatar
    AwesomeLowlander , (edited )

    Maybe you should inform Logitech about that?

    www.logitech.com/en-us/…/what-is-unifying.html

    michaelmrose ,

    It’s describing the FEATURE! There are no downloads listed for a feature for a reason… you don’t load the actual software for instance “logitechoptions” “logitech options+” “G hub”

    michaelmrose ,

    Where are your downloads for that! They don’t call it that any longer

    michaelmrose ,

    Also your own fucking link says explicitly that you can achieve the feature it describes with Logitech Options Plus! From your own goddamn link

    . You can now personalize the experience of your Unifying devices with the powerful Logi Options+ App that lets you customize your supported Logitech devices so you can get more done.

    yrmp ,

    Not as garbage as your critical thinking abilities it would seem.

    michaelmrose ,

    note how searching for the words logitech unifying don’t go to any current release of any software you would actually want to install whereas searching for “logitech” “name of hardware” actually take you to the current software for your actual hardware? Shocking I know.

    yrmp ,

    you’re still butthurt about your downvotes? no one cares lol.

    zipzoopaboop ,

    Unifying is absolutely the name of software

    michaelmrose ,

    It’s a goddamn feature the software has never been called unifying.

    zipzoopaboop ,

    Toxic black mold is a greenish-black gelatinous mold. It is not really black. Mold is not healthy and some people have severe negative reactions to regular black molds though.

    ComradeR ,

    My mom has a strong allergic reaction to mold. Her nostrils blocks (similar to a strong flu) when she touches some moldy object or enter in a moldy room.

    petersr ,
    1. Wtf, there is a Wikipedia just for mold?
