#searx — Public Fediverse posts

Live and recent posts from across the Fediverse tagged #searx, aggregated by home.social.

  1. @Mojeek, something else for that big list of requests: a way to reach your cache. Google just discontinued¹ access to their cache. Cache access is extremely important because #Mojeek search results often lead to exclusive gate-kept websites like Cloudflare. We need a way to reach that content when it appears in search results. This is what stops me from using Mojeek. #Searx instances offer a cache option (though they cheat and just redirect to archive.org).

    Long-shot: are there any mojeek syndicates that have a search UI that offers a mirror or cache alternate link?

    BTW, your article mentions #Gigablast but i think they’re gone now.

    1) It’s unclear what happened with Google. They said they will stop caching sites but that’s obviously not true because they need the cache inherently for indexation. Which suggests they intend to make it inaccessible to the public. Though if that’s true, then it would be all-or-nothing, not continued access to old caches.

    Indeed mojeek.com is not the only non-tech-giant #searchEngine (+crawler). From strypey’s mentions + some of my notes:

    * #Mojeek ← does their own crawling
    * #Metager.org ← does their own crawling
    * #SearchMySite.net ← avoid (Cloudflare)
    * #Searx ← just proxy software, many instances
    * #4get ← another proxy software, about a dozen instances: 4get.ca/instances
    * #Gigablast ← does their own crawling, but what happened?.. they were dissolved last year & seem to now be www.alltheinternet.com
    * #Ombrelo ← a proxy but more advanced than the others (filters/downranks Cloudflare sites)

    #YaCy is notable because it’s a crawler that you can install and operate yourself. YaCy instances can be public-facing and they can also share indexes with each other fedi style apparently. Some Searx instances tap YaCy instances.

    I would love to find a searx or 4get instance that rejects the tech giants, but aggregates from YaCy, mojeek, gigablast, metager, maginalia.nu, frogfind.com, & wiby.me.

    And I would love it even more if it would make replacements:

    * #StackExchange#AnonymousOverflow
    * #YouTube#Invideous
    * #Medium.com → scribe.rip
    * #BBC → BBC’s onion site
    * #NYTimes → New York Times’s onion site
    * etc.

    search.fabiomanganiello.com makes some of those replacements.

  3. @zeh @alcinnz I've been experimenting with a few search engines recently, including Mojeek, Metager.org, SearchMySite.net and the Searx instances at Monocles.de.

    I've also figured out to how to configure my Firefox-based mobile browser to search for videos directly on YewTube (Invidio.us instance), and for green tech info on Appropedia.org, and I plan to add more sites to this (eg search.joinpeertube.org).

  4. Differenze tra i motori di ricerca

    Sapevate che su Wikipedia è presente una bella tabella comparativa per vedere con semplicità le differenze tra i motori di ricerca?

  5. Aggiornati i server dei servizi #devol, ora il tutto dovrebbe girare più velocemente.
    Sono stati risolti alcuni bug che provocavano disservizi occasionali.

    Questi i servizi che beneficeranno di più dall'aggiornamento:

    #Etherpad - il word processor collaborativo: etherpad.devol.it

    #Searx - il motore di ricerca: searx.devol.it

    #lstu Let's Short That Url per accorciare i link: s.devol.it

    #OpenSondage per creare sondaggi online: opensondage.devol.it

    Moi non plus j'ai jamais réussi a comprendre Yacy ^^ ni a le faire fonctionner.
    Sinon j'ai entendu parler de #Seeks mais pas testé, je sais pas trop ce que ça vaut non plus :D
    Au pire faut aller sur #searX ... bon c'est un meta-moteur et c'est pas décentralisé ^^ merde... on en sort pas >__<'
