@itsfoss as I am finding myself using the #foss #desktop more and more; such #opensource #tools are becoming more handy with each iteratio.
So, although I often prefer #cli 9/10 cases I'll give these #search tools a try too for my graphical interface on my workstation.
Thanks for compiling the list and sharing!
BTW when we disenshittify seach & make it work again, can we finally get proper filtering, too?
Most "filtering" is basically just metadata (e.g. time, date, size) and/or search-terms-as-categories.
Actual filtering, however, is subtractive: "Give me everything except X".
As of right now I have never, ever seen that implemented in search anywhere & I find myself missing it almost every time I search for something.
So thanks in advance I guess. đ
Search was invented so you wouldn't have to scroll through content manually trying to parse if what you were looking for is there.
"Intelligent" search has sent me right back to that - fortunately I was always pretty good at it, but on the other hand, it doesn't fit very well with my understanding of the concept of intelligence...
As search engines want to give us "answers" instead of linking to actual websites written by actual people, we need a way to empower users to search on their favorite websites directly. It already exists, itâs OpenSearch. But itâs impossible to discover for most users.
Why are browsers not providing a JS function and/or a *visible* option to add the search engine with a shortcut? Any idea how to improve this situation?
Does your search engineâs name begin with B, D or G? Itâs ethical score is at best âaverageâ and at worst âpoorâ. @ethicalconsumer took a look and werenât impressed.
Have you taken a look?
Check out the search engine starting with M. Youâre supporting the top scoring ethical option which quietly leads on privacy protection, the climate, tax conduct etc.
