Anyone else having trouble with search engine.

Over the last week I keep getting the following message:

Qwant is temporarily unavailable
Please check your connection or refresh page .
Relaunch your search

Which is getting to be annoying.

What is up?

So I have swapped to

Abbiamo deciso di eliminare Qwant tra le alternative suggerite

Qwant ha smesso di servire i risultati di ricerca a chi utilizza un adblock e per questo motivo non è più un'alternativa consigliata.

Well, , the "privacy focused" French search engine is not only proprietary but now is forcing the user to show ads and disable their ad blocker.

Anyone have any alternative search-engine suggestion apart from duckduckgo (which is practically Bing), and Searx instances?

Bon, là commence à m'énerver beaucoup trop.
Je veux bien qu'ils tentent de faire des sous, mais là on se retrouve comme avant en fait, y a trop de trucs que je veux pas voir (j'ai désactivé mes bloqueurs)

Alcuni mi chiedono perché uso l'istanza dei @devol invece di come motore di ricerca. Da oggi risponderò con questa pubblicità di che rende davvero l'idea. 😉 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oz4KAIHEGgI

Avant, j'utilisais mais la nouvelle popup pour accepter la pub m'a dissuadé...

Et sur mes appareils perso, c'est Spot de @murena 😉

Qwant miente??

He usado Duck Duck Go, el buscador del pato y alternativa real al buscador

@GatOscuro @zicoxy3 No entiendo el artículo. En el mensaje de #Qwant solamente pone que viven de la publicidad y que desactives el addblocker.

Pero esto no significa que la publicidad sea personalizada (tengan un perfil de ti).

Wow -- the first hit in a Qwant search for paypal was a paid ad for an obviously fraudulent site. (How do I know it's bogus? For one thing, this isn't a Windows machine.)

Does anyone have an ad-free search engine the like? I'd rather pay a subscription fee than have useful results buried in ads.

Temat: Wyszukiwarki proprywatnościowe i antykomercyjne (nie w sensie, że nie oferują modelu np. sprzedaży jakiś usług za pieniądze, a w sensie wyszukiwania skoncentrowanego na algorytmach SEO i wyświetlania według kolejności związanej z kampaniami reklamowymi. Na poziomie deklaratywnym minimum.

Znam w kolejności poznania: DuckDuckGo, MetaGer, Kagi, Qwant, SVMetaSearch, SearXNG.

Pomijam na razie wyszukiwarki koncentrujące się na wyszukiwaniu publikacji naukowych. O te zapytam kiedy indziej.

Co sądzicie? Wady i zalety? Może znacie jeszcze jakieś inne? Od wygłoszenia mojej opinii na podstawie doświadczenia na razie powstrzymam się, aby nie kierunkować dyskusji.

my first impressions of vs. Google -- to me, it seems like google.stanford.edu (back when that was a thing) vs. AltaVista: Google had fewer pages total but in categories where sites were putting effort into gaming AltaVista, the top Google results were better

maybe a search engine can only be good until it spawns an SEO scene that can defeat it

Dites la mastosphère, vous savez où en est techniquement de nos jours ?

Just seen a thread full of hot new tips for non-skeevy search engines and someone mentioned Qwant, a French one. Sadly even before I heard it was French it was possible to guess because their English website copy reads exactly like all cheapjack, super-literal machine translations of French. Qwant wants your business and promises not to see you as just a bunch of clicks, but they think skilled human translators can be replaced with something that looks an awful lot like Google Translate. And I should trust these twats not to mangle my information?

Przy okazji padu zb3.org chciałem sprawdzić czy blogasek nie ucierpiał w wyszukiwarkach. No cóż. W tych tworzonych dla ludzi nie (, po prawej). W tych robionych dla seo i robotów jak najbardziej.

Nie korzystam z google już od jakiegoś czasu, bo zwraca bzdury 🤷‍♂️
W rozmowach z ludźmi słyszę, że g. jest słaby. Ale mamy wbite w głowy, że bez g. się nie da. Otóż da się. A jeśli szanujecie swój czas, to nawet trzeba.

P.S. Qwant.com to europejska opracowana i utrzymywana przez Francuzów. Jedyna obecnie alternatywa (z własnym indeksem) do i .

Durman,

@m0bi13 Przyznaję, że przy DDG trzymają mnie bang keywords. Szkoda, że tego nie ma.
