Hmmm, interesting... I just noticed: Mojeek has indexed my sites! I did a search for "Haphaestus", tells me their index is reasonably up to date.https://www.mojeek.com/search?q=haphaestusMojeek is the only general-purpose search engine that isn't just a frontend on Google or Bing. I might start using it!

@zeh @alcinnz >have been seeing the worse results from duckduckgo We're not the only ones who have been complaining about this recently. I was very happy with DDG for years and I still really like the fact that I can search the Free Software Directory by adding !fsd to my keywords. But their general search results have gone massively downhill in the last year or two, and I blame Bing.

@zeh @alcinnz I've been experimenting with a few search engines recently, including Mojeek, Metager.org, SearchMySite.net and the Searx instances at Monocles.de.I've also figured out to how to configure my Firefox-based mobile browser to search for videos directly on YewTube (Invidio.us instance), and for green tech info on Appropedia.org, and I plan to add more sites to this (eg search.joinpeertube.org).#Search #SearchEngines #Mojeek #Metager #SearchMySite #Searx #Monocles
