*two hours (now)

Bing powers so much of the alternative (meta)sphere

Correct; there are many such cases, this map shows a bundle of bing proxies

Thanks a lot, these are very useful and will be raised. For further feedback there is https://www.mojeek.com/about/contact and also a submit feedback button on results pages.

Bing, Google, Quant, all rate that high (#1), it’s a universal instruction page for most linux.

Just in case you didn’t know, Qwant will have that high because they use Bing’s index.

Blink and it’s GONE

*or Bing depending upon where you are

the the quick answer type stuff is coming from DDGs systems.

which doesn’t an index make, more like a fetcher for specific data

nope, it was yandex + bing, now bing: https://www.searchenginemap.com/

qwant and ecosia are both using bing, with the latter using google sometimes: https://www.searchenginemap.com/ map needs updating for that latter point

indeed so, thanks for flagging this I’ll get it raised so we can see what’s going on there

thanks a lot, if you have any search terms which didn’t work so well then that’s useful for this process

or didn’t have good enough indexes (e.g. Mojeek)

Got anymore on that? Always looking to improve

🙏 🙏 🙏

probably a sample size issue, we crawl and index everything we are able to; have seen many of this kind of site in the past, and finding them is something that other people have said they enjoy about mojeek

our preference is always to find out why the block is happening and try to convince people it should be otherwise; widespread abuse of robots.txt does no-one any good, having been crawling and indexing for so long it’s a standard that we understand and are quite fond of

we can see some of the perils and pitfalls of it too, but web builders need to be given some tools and assurances that those tools will work for them
