Tired of duckduckgo using MSN’s amp thing for news or blocking some websites, and it’s now adding shit AI too. Don’t want to spend any money running a searxng instance for the time being and most public instances are too overwhelmed.
Any suggestions? Doesn’t need to be perfect, just not too annoying.
Got any examples we can look into?
That’s a hard one to answer without losing anonymity. It’s with contextual searching, like X business in Y town, or looking up specific or niche software tools. I occasionally give Mojeek a fair shot, then switch away when I can’t find what I’m looking for. If you’d like, I’ll keep track of those instances and email you with examples, is that helpful?
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.
If i search something in a language other than EN/DE/FR… I couldn’t find anything. This is very frustrating for an Asian user
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.
Japanese mostly, not a neo latin language.
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
Thanks for doing this! Kudos:) & I believe that many users also look forward to search in Chinese and Korean
