There has absolutely not been a better opportunity in this century to build a successful new search engine for the internet. The dominant players are running full speed to make their offerings worse, and that’s after *years* of complaints that Google’s results are decaying.
@anildash My favorites are Searx, Kagi, Neeva, and BlogSurf.
@katmmoss How do you make Searx functional? It seems like an ideal solution, but it fails the simplest of searches. The different engines will report various errors such as "timeout", "too many requests" and "CAPTCHA failed"
@IonicDriver unfortunately, yes. Because the majority of the main stream search engines require those sorts of things, and the application is unable to solve them.
