Building #SearcEngines is a big deal. Not something that can be done in a few afternoons after work. However, it is a critical tool for the modern world.

If only we could have a #searchengine that would not index crap generated by #AI nor commercial clickbait.

Die letzte viertel Stunde die Suchmaschine Stract https://stract.com angesehen.

Als Feature gefallen mir die selbst erstellbaren Optics ja sehr vom Ansatz: "Optics is a domain-specific language that lets you write small programs to influence the search results that gets returned to you from Stract or other search engines that supports Optics." https://github.com/StractOrg/sample-optics/blob/main/quickstart.optic).

Ein vorgegebenes Beispiel ist z.B. "Academic".

TLDR: not only was DDG using Bing for its image results (most people knew this much) it was also helping MSFT track people, by explicitly not blocking Microsoft tracking cookies (and more). What's more, the contract with MSFT prevented them from disclosing the fact that they don't block MSFT tracking.
