🚚 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.
