I might look into some opt-in setting that enables some regex patterns to do things like that. I'm not so sure about currency rates unless we only sync that once per day, as a sche…

Thanks! We did that initially (and to Google as well), and Uruky shows up there; I just mean more broadly speaking, to get the word out so people find Uruky when looking for or spe…

Thanks, that's perfectly fair! It's something we've felt has been best served by the OS at this point (macOS and Linux, at least), and adds significant complexity (we need to start…

I've been working on a private, paid, ad-free and personally customizable search engine: Uruky [1]. To signup you don't provide any information (a randomly-generated account number…

More of a service than an app, my wife and I have been building a paid and private search engine, ad-free, focused on personal search customization. It's called Uruky and it's at h…

Thank you for your support! Uruky co-founder, here. Let me know if you run into any trouble, confusion, or just have any suggestions (email or a reply here is fine), so we can help…

Thank you so much for the mention! Uruky co-founder, here. Let me know if there's some specific feature you'd like to see added (email or a reply here is fine), so we can evaluate!…

That's a great question. Hopefully given you can make a purchase and start using an account without ever providing any personal information, it should help. My wife has no public i…

Most of the cost is storage (database, indexes) and memory (RAM, search), and most of the risk is crawlers (they fail, they're reported as abuse, etc.). You can look for Common Cra…

Common Crawl is a really cool project! We're looking to implement a similar EU-based version: https://openwebindex.eu

Thanks, and great question! I'm not sure about the whole EU, but in Portugal (where our company's based, and where we've talked with a couple of lawyers and accountants about it), …

Thanks, please reach out via email if you run into any trouble or have any questions/suggestions!

That's a good point. Mainly because of the personal search customization features, and the fact it's paid search. Those seem differentiating enough from Google and close enough to …

Thank you for your comments! We have an index, it's just not very big, yet. We had a major setback last month with a bug (for less than 24h, the crawler didn't respect robots.txt) …

Thanks! I'll experiment with that next month, then!

This is my bad. We've heard a few people complain that the word "personalization" has been adopted by the ad industry and it makes people shiver when reading it. In our case it mea…

Thanks! Do you mean on this HN thread? On the website we do this: > PRIVATE SEARCH YOU CONTROL > Search without ads or tracking > Uruky is a private search engine focused on person…

Not public-facing search engines, but internal ones and privacy-focused software, yes. Thanks!

Thanks! We offer many search providers, so we're not tied to any specific style of results, and our customers tend to really appreciate that! Also, we do offer an API (check the FA…

Thanks! We've been working on it since late last year, only really announced it here in February or March, I think (I'd have to check). Cold emailing some privacy-minded folks and …

Yes, why would you think otherwise?
