Mojeek Search Engine

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

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 👏👏👏

there’s a safe mode if it’s of use: nested in the settings gear menu but also on /preferences (to turn it on for all searches)

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.

we’re working on it 😉 slow and steady and all that; we also fixed a bug with recrawl recently that should be improving things

you can also send us in queries where we’re not perfect, or let us know elsewhere, and we’re keen on fixing them

Sometimes it’s a hard one to remember 😅

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

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 👋

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

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.

Thanks for mentioning us nonetheless! You can help out with that journey, if you want, by chucking some searches (either new ones or old ones you remember being not so great) into the Evaluation Page and voting.
