A Mozilla é a empresa na situação mais delicada, segundo testemunho de um executivo durante o processo. Este alegou que, caso o Google seja proibido de pagar pela manutenção do Search como buscador padrão, o fim do fluxo de capital pode aniquilar a empresa, que hoje depende do dinheiro de Mountain View para manter suas operações.

Small Web on Kagi Search

https://tilvids.com/w/2eLi2MJPkUR1twKs4KaDSx

Years ago, I searched for the Kansas Supreme Court on Google.

I noticed the court had a section for ratings and reviews, as if it were a business.

At the time, the Kansas Supreme Court only had a single one-star review.

The accompanying message simply said, "I lost."

Finding results for sites made by humans is a real need and why Kagi supports the Small Web: https://kagi.com/smallweb/

You can also filter your search through the "Small Web" lens to surface only results from these sources:

"Search With Stateful Chat" patent (Cf. https://patents.google.com/patent/US20240289407A1/en ) - appears to describe the Gemini app for smartphones.

"Method for Text Ranking with Pairwise Ranking Prompting" (Cf. https://patents.google.com/patent/US20250124067A1/en ) - documents an experimental process described in this research paper titled "Large Language Models are Effective Text Rankers with Pairwise Ranking Prompting" (Cf. https://arxiv.org/pdf/2306.17563 ). There is no indication this was introduced into a live agentic system like Gemini.

"User Embedding Models for Personalization of Sequence Processing Models" (Cf. https://patents.google.com/patent/WO2025102041A1/en ) - documents an experimental process for improving recommender (sub-)systems (like movie searches) that incorporate large language models. The process is described in this research paper titled "User Embedding Model for Personalized Language Prompting" (Cf. https://arxiv.org/pdf/2401.04858 ).

"Systems and methods for prompt-based query generation for diverse retrieval" (Cf. https://patents.google.com/patent/WO2024064249A1/en ) - updates a 2022 patent for a process named PROMPTAGATOR that generates queries more efficiently based on a small number of examples, as described in this research paper titled "Promptagator - Few-shot Dense Retrieval from 8 Examples" (Cf. https://arxiv.org/pdf/2209.11755 ). This could be used to generate query fan-outs (but query fan-out has been used in multiple systems at least since the 1990s, so there are many implementations).

"Instruction Fine-Tuning Machine-Learned Models Using Intermediate Reasoning Steps" (Cf. https://patents.google.com/patent/US20240256965A1/en ) - documents an older method for fine-tuning instructions submitted to LLMs, as described in this 2022 research paper titled "Scaling Instruction-Finetuned Language Models" (Cf. https://www.jmlr.org/papers/volume25/23-0870/23-0870.pdf ). The work has been superseded by this paper titled "Mixture-of-Experts Meets Instruction Tuning: A Winning Combination for Large Language Models" (Cf. https://arxiv.org/pdf/2305.14705 ).

This is the AI Overviews patent, titled "Generative summaries for search results" (Cf. https://patents.google.com/patent/US11769017B1/en )

Lately, I feel that it's more and more difficult to search the web and find relevant stuff.

I try to stay away from AI #search as much as I can (because environmental cost, content theft and long term sustainability of the #web I love(d)), but it's getting really difficult to find anything without it 😐

Question for the Mastodon Search Experts:
- Can someone tell me how we can search through the posts that we’ve starred?
- And the posts that we’ve bookmarked?
Thank you!
