  • What really grinds my gears is that search engines simply do not show you the thing you are looking for.

    Even when you put explicit captions and quotes around your search topic it will just ignore them and show you other stuff.

    This issue is not limited to google. Start page, ecosia search, Bing, (God forbid you use that) all of them simply choose to ignore your explicit groupings of words.

    I am also running a locally hosted searx server, and it’s not much better because the results that it gets come from other search engines.

    Do we need to build a federated search system to replace Google and everything else?

    I think the answer is yes.
