@UkeBLCatboy @lori If I could pay for a search engine that just did what search engines did in 2004, I would do it in a heartbeat.
Running a web-scale search index is not a cheap operation, and as long as I'm not the one paying to keep the lights on, anything I get served is suspect.
I still. . .you know, don't pay for a search engine. I'd sooner write my own spider.
@b4ux1t3 @UkeBLCatboy I would absolutely pay for a solid search engine, and I did pay for Kagi back when I thought maybe it would be that (the results weren't magical but they were at least pretty good and I hoped they'd get better)
