In regards to https://pol.social/@svmetasearch/112390333374657849, we've found the issue and mitigated it, we're now back at full speed 😎

We're also sorry that it took so long to resolve the issue - we are a really small team working pro publico bono.

Thank you @piotrsikora (and @ftdl) for your sustained assistance!

On the Earth Day, we should promote the ecological ways to search. And SVMetaSearch is one of search engines powered by renewable energy.

Another search engine claiming to plant trees is Ecosia - https://ecosia.org.

"A może coś z polskiego podwórka – SVMetaSearch? To tzw. metawyszukiwarka, która zaciąga wyniki z wielu innych wyszukiwarek jednocześnie, pozwalając wybrać źródła. Buduje również swój własny mini-indeks."

DuckDuckGo being yet again caused a "private" AI to appear. Based on OpenAI, they claim "not to train on your conversations"... but OpenAI will happily take the convos instead.

The "privacy" saying in your authorship is boring, Weinberg. Stick to something new instead.

Ah, would we forget about our "Product of Poland" badge in the lower left corner? No way!

We decided to mock the Google Chrome's advert campaign running in Poland.

(For non-Polish speakers: it says that Chrome is the only browser without an adblocker and tells you to get rid of Chrome.)

28 January is the #dataprivacyday. If you don't have a resolution to celebrate this day - don't worry, we'll help.

You can start with switching to SVMetaSearch.

svmetasearch, (edited ) to random
@svmetasearch@pol.social avatar

Which search engine (or a frontend) were you used before you switched to SVMetaSearch?

(Answer order is completely random except the 4th option)

@svmetasearch@pol.social avatar

It's time to reveal our rebranding process, and in particular - our new name.

Enter Peekr - the new search engine using its own index. Only. For a long period of time we called it SVMetaSearch 2.0.

We expect Peekr to launch between Q3 and Q4 of 2024, unless we'll be ready before (or hopefully not after) that.

See what you should expect 👇

I am strongly considering to launch a public forum, but I think I wouldn't be able to handle both moderation, SVMetaSearch further development and my private life things all at once.

If this forum would open, would you be an active user of it, and if you want to, help me with moderating it? Poll answer adheres to the "registered user" thing only, I know moderation is hard thus it isn't for everyone.

To wrap up things, I am not planning on opening a Discord "public" group, but rather spinning up a full-fledged forum script on our server 😉

Also, we are planning to do some technical works regarding SSL autorenewal mechanism. It broke, and not fixing it will make us doomed, because we use HSTS. Short downtime periods (mainly "no secure connection" errors) are expected.

Switching from Google to DuckDuckGo is like switching from cola to... a diet cola. The latter doesn't give you any significant health gains.

Drink water instead. Use SVMetaSearch.

More people are trying their best to break free from Big Tech.

My suggestion? Use SVMetaSearch. Our plan is to build a 1-billion-big index in the long term.
