Tried to search Rust, but it gave me this1000046547

[–] Blaze@feddit.org 33 points 1 day ago

Works quite well, thanks for sharing

FYI: The whoogle options don't work well. Everything else seems fine though.

This is great, thanks for sharing.

If anyone knows and other good search engines for the fediverse let me(us?) know. Im trying to find something that isnt just a small wrapper around google/bing/etc...

[–] Cris_Color@lemmy.world 1 points 12 hours ago

I think the there might be some "goggles" for searching via brave that limit things to the Fediverse, that might be worth checking out :)

Kagi's pretty good and has a Fediverse search feature, but it's paid. I don't mind paying, but there's also no way to do private searches that way, so I'm not going to use it as my main search engine. It's been good at hunting down memes on Lemmy that I want to find again though.

You might already know this, but you can use a Kagi without logging in on private tabs using a "session link" that looks like https://kagi.com/search?token=%5BLONG TOKEN HERE]. (Of course, this session link is not perfectly anonymous because the token is presumably tied to your account.)

the token is completely tied to your account.

you can access part of your account info/settings with that as well, a while back they added an extra password prompt to some of that.

truly anonymous searches are simply impossible unfortunately. while they claim they're not logging any searches it's impossible to verify.

[–] bilb@lem.monster 1 points 15 hours ago

Right, and for me personally that's fine. I respect that others have different requirements or desires in that regard.

I'm trying out yacy and it's hitting the same spot. My only issue is self hosting seems to not work well for yunohost so I may need to find a way to run it alternatively somehow.

Sorry not going to turn off my ad blocker for this.

[–] jballs@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Doesn't seem to work. Clicking search just opened a full screen as on mobile with no close options.

[–] Mr_Blott@feddit.uk 3 points 1 day ago

It did that for me until I changed the search option to anything except Whoogle

[–] knova@infosec.pub 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

So this is just a shortcut to Google or DuckDuckGo with a prebuilt query?

[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 day ago
[–] haverholm@kbin.earth 1 points 1 day ago

I can't get the "more accurate" Google search to return anything but Lemmy results 🤣

Never trying this again.

How long do you give it?
