issa me!

https://www.mojeek.com/about/privacy/, just in case anyone doesn’t want to append the y :D

thanks a lot in advance, and fedi is where it’s at ! 💯

sorry to hear that; if you are using us any point in the future and want to flag this, we have a “submit feedback” button on pages, this is a really useful thing to do for us, as it helps us to identify results which are not so good :D

coming up to 20 years of no tracking, 18 of having the first privacy policy to say it: https://web.archive.org/web/20060318104627/http://www.mojeek.com/privacy.html

hopefully a good consensus 😅 at least seen very little of people saying bad

you can smash the “submit feedback” button on the page when you get a duff search and send it into us, it’s how we improve: https://blog.mojeek.com/2024/02/major-algorithm-update.html

no hidden catches no

Bin-go: https://www.searchenginemap.com/ same with many others

if you look at the repo they give thanks to:

“The commoncrawl organization for crawling the web and making the dataset readily available. Even though we have our own crawler now, commoncrawl has been a huge help in the early stages of development.”

There is nothing I can find which says how much of the index is CC and how much is their own; if there’s a decent amount of CC, this is originally for researchers etc. it’s not the best resource in the world for a search index: https://commoncrawl.org/

That being said, as an independent search engine, it’s always good to see people take on the massive task of actually building an index, not becoming a proxy.

we’re gettin’ censored here 🫠

howdy 👋

biased but i think they’re doing just swell (and getting better by the day) ;)

ah no bother at all, not everyone is gonna be across every single kind of company and they are functionally very similar!

thank you kindly, that is great to hear; we’ve got this new and even better (so far testing is showing that) algo ready to go too: https://www.mojeek.com/eval so hopefully it’ll be even more fantastic-er soon :D

thanks a lot for the mention, if you wanna use that fallback less and less, feeding back on algo updates via https://www.mojeek.com/eval always helps us

if you’re willing to help at all we’re always looking for feedback on specific results, and also have this page for testing staging algorithms, there’s a big change on there currently. No bother if not.

good write up, we’re Mojeek Limited, not Mojeek LLC; LLC as a formation in the UK is called a “Private Limited Company” (PLC) which is contracted to .ltd or limited.

Currently looking at mojeek myself

How’d you find us?

Thanks for the shoutout, it’s always much-appreciated. If you’re looking to test new things/ help us out in other ways, we’re testing a new algo :D

Lately I’ve been trying to use mojeek, which (to my understanding) unlike other sites like DDG actually has its own crawler whereas most alternatives are just frontends for google/bing.

This is correct, there aren’t many, and we recently passed 7.7bn pages. You can actually help with any wonkyness through feedback, but also we have this page which we trial new algos on; there’s a large update sat on it currently.
