🤗 Who is excited for #ossym24?
Our partner @osf is currently finalizing this year's agenda for the sixth Open Search Symposium, which takes place at Leibniz Supercomputing Centre from 9-11 October.

Among the highlights over the years have been the #AlternativeSearchEngine Tracks.
To continue and broaden the tradition we are calling on you to tell us which Search Engines you would like to see represented at #ossym24. Send us your suggestions!

I think I might have reached my limit with Kagi. I just don’t feel like I’m getting the value I really want and the iOS integration is really shitty.

Sometimes I want to go to Google and Kagi bangs don’t work and trying to go direct just get me redirected.

Recently, clicking on the address bar in Safari will cause Kagi to redirect me back to the search results.

Paired with this blog post https://d-shoot.net/kagi.html I think it might be time to call it quits. #Kagi #AlternativeSearchEngine

Another day, another #AlternativeSearchEngine

Introducing Mojeek - a search engine that – according to them – provides unbiased, fast, and relevant search results combined with a no tracking privacy policy.
Mojeek founder Colin Hayhurst was a speaker at this year’s #ossym23 where he introduced Mojeek to the #OpenWebSearch Community: https://lnkd.in/dgpDk2GF

Want to use Google search instead of a privacy-friendly #alternativeSearchEngine? Then Pernille Tranberg’s has a tip: https://opensearchfoundation.org/en/adventcalendar-2023/

”If you still want to use Google Search, use Startpage.com. It is built on Google search but you are not tracked & profiled. Set it as your standard search engine in Safari and Firefox.”, says Pernille Tranberg, Expert & advisor in data ethics & data democracy, co-founder of the European thinkdotank DataEthics.eu

***There are no alternative search engines!***

Wait a minute ❗❓ After all, we introduced you to an #alternativeSearchEngine yesterday (and more will follow). But yes, you read correctly! Let us give you a quick overview of why the alternative search engines are no real alternatives: https://opensearchfoundation.org/en/adventcalendar-2023/
