Not broken (yet) and nothing new for those of us doing search. But with AI it has ramped up and notably for publishers.
I guess you have all heard about the growing problem of AI companies trying to aggressively collect whatever data they can get their hands on to train their models. This has caused an explosive surge in web crawlers relentlessly hitting servers big and small. But who runs these crawlers? Turns out — it could be you!
🚚 We have switched on an improved algorithm on https://mojeek.com. This improves general relevancy and navigational searches.
It takes on board recent user feedback via the evaluator 🙏. Further feedback is, as always, welcome; navigational searches can sometimes be negatively impacted. Let us know when this happens or you encounter issues.
You can test again the the old algorithm using &m=152. API customers can switch it on now using m=168.
