next time you see a Bizarre New Feature don't ask "why are they doing that?" ask "what data are they able to grab with that?"

"Mojeek doesn’t use search results from other search engines. Instead, the British search engine, which launched in 2006, is building its own index of the web. It’s doing this in the same way as Google and Bing"

@rickscully The intention was to turn this into a more well-rounded newsletter and blog search, hence it sitting on /blogs.

This functionality is going to be worked on soon in order to move it from a single-site test to a large range of different newsletters and blogs.

Sometimes when you the web you want to make sure your results are from some clever people.

That's why I made a Search Focus that will only return results from websites and .

You can try it by going to the Mojeek Focus Dashboard and turning the feature on.

@matt think you had a request vis-a-vis Focus not that long ago, can you remind me what it was?

Also the &foc= means even without it switched on, a shared search using it will still work as expected i.e. look at https://www.mojeek.com/search?foc_t=Education&q=focus in a private window vs using your setup 😎

one of the things that I like about search engine, is that you can filter the search results and ask the engine to never show any links from websites such as slant.co or other nonsense websites.

@Mojeek@mastodon.social avatar

@lxsameer @flamed correct, you can just use exclusions if that's the kind of Focus you're looking to create. There's more info on https://www.mojeek.com/focus/ and in the accompanying blog: https://blog.mojeek.com/2022/08/mojeek-focus-search-the-web-you-want.html

So with my new found knowledge of #kagi upsetting me and causing me to leave it... The fact the only other engines that are not just proxying google or bing... Is #brave or #mojeek and while brave one is nice... I just cannot bring myself to use something that funds a biggot... Then mojeek just feels dated and not great...

I am tempted at bringing fuzzysearx back... and even look at trying to leverage the built in ability to add custom engines to look at leveraging other abilities... because searxng really seems like the only ethical way I can see to leverage search engines collecting data...

@hack13 do you mean the look of Mojeek is dated?

Mojeek,
@Mojeek@mastodon.social avatar

@hack13 well that's good to hear, we have done some UI stuff not that long ago, can check back in in the future. Anything in particular you would find better about the feel of us?

Search Choices allow you to quickly and conveniently view results from other providers whilst on Mojeek.

You can select from a range of different engines and metas, and have them at the bottom of the page and/or in the search bar.

@Lokjo someone posted it on r/searchengines, no more context than that

@leafeon quite right, I think they've been around a fair while so possibly just the mass ad-blockening!
