which languages are you searching in? It’s likely that they are as-of-yet unsupported. There are a lot of languages we crawl and index in which aren’t en/de/fr but non-neo-latin languages are not currently available.
Mojeek Search Engine
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/

That would be helpful, yes; there is a “submit feedback” button on results pages which allows you to send it directly to us if that works.
Mojeek never finds anything.
Got any examples we can look into?
2·1 month agodo you have any examples? they’re always useful for us when it comes to targetting improvements etc.
2·1 month agothanks a lot for providing this 🙏
if you have any recall on where the list came from that’s also useful to us. Here’s our Bot page: https://www.mojeek.com/bot.html and some external info: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mojeek
why MojeekBot? we’re a search engine
1·2 months agoYou can send us in results via the submit feedback button or contact page when they’re not-so good, if you’d like to help
y thankyou!
let us know if you find anything which could be better also, we’re always looking for ways to improve
Whoa, mama!
Choices do this very thing, you click a button and the search in the bar goes to that site, if you have this enabled in the search bar. If not they are present at the bottom of the results.
We are in the process of open sourcing the library of choices so they are user-submitted.
our Search Choices might be of use here, different implementation but similar: https://blog.mojeek.com/2022/02/search-choices-enable-freedom-to-seek.html
3·7 months agohello, we’re quoted in the piece, set your parameters to look only since the change/recently i.e.
Bing - Restricted to a week here and there is nothing
Mojeek - We are not crawling due to the block, avoiding adding results without contentAs most are just using Bing’s results (DDG, Qwant, Ecosia) you should see similar.
2·7 months agosorry for taking a while to get back but the main source of mojeek revenue is api sales, having people pay to access results for different applications (bing does similar i.e. duckduckgo, qwant, ecosia)
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 👏👏👏
working on it! If you have any searches not working for you then please send them in to us; it’s one the main ways in which we identify issues and improve Mojeek for everyone.
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.
people interested in alternative search tend to be in spaces that aren’t your GAFAM big tech networks, we’ve been on masto since 2018 also
not to come off as overly dismissive of people elsewhere, but you also find that the quality of discourse and people’s willingness to think about things are both considerably more elevated
for the moment it’s just not in the crawl; I will add +1 into the “add Japanese” column off the back of this interaction
