Make Search Great Again!¶
Internet search is basically useless now, I heard it described as “no longer a search engine, but an add serving platform”. The search results have deteriorated to the point where it is even worse than an add platform it is now just a market place.
Wouldn’t it be nice if there was a search engine that only crawled websites if:
Must Have RSS / Atom feed
No referral Links
No crazy SOE tricks, link farms, AI content garbage
No JS geo-location browser API usage
No JS web push notification browser API usage
No advertisements
No analytics, trackers, urchins or profiling
For the advertising and trackers I am in two minds perhaps the new new internet can allow users to toggle advertisements and trackers.
Search with the top sites removed: millionshort
Create your own crawler with Apache Nutch
Another build your own search engine
Someone did it! (seems to be down now)
There is also ooh.directory
