In the FAQ, they mention they don’t have an index, they just collect the results from other search engines.

Uh oh. Where is that? We do have our own index, Uruky Site Search!

On the settings page it appears that the index is disabled by default and not included in the ordering either. It's a bit confusing here!

We're working towards accepting cash by mail in a month or two, and regarding cryptocurrencies, we've been trying to reach out to proxysto.re unsuccessfully for that. If you know of a similar option, we'd love to hear about it!

If the goal truly is privacy, and that's why you're adding cryptocurrency options, then adding a middleman like "proxysto.re" or any other, then you're not giving users the privacy you say you want to give. You really need to handle that on your end, if that's something you want to offer for the purpose of privacy. Take a look at how Mullvad implemented it, which I guess is where you got the "cash in a letter" method…

Yes, and I’ve talked with Mullvad about it before. The main problem for us is that we cannot exchange XMR for fiat legally, in Portugal, and we have no costs that can be paid with XMR, at the moment.

ProxyStore should work well as a proxy because they receive XMR anonymously and pay us in EUR for an account number. We don’t know who paid for what and don’t care (we also don’t know that after 14 days, Mollie doesn’t know any account number).

But is Yandex government owned? What about Russians abroad that send money back home to their families, and a percentage of that ends up going via taxes to Putin? Are we boycotting all Russians everywhere globally?

[flagged]

No, interacting with Russian people does not mean supporting genocide. Please raise the quality of your comments here :)

How do I search the index? How big is it? I went into settings, excluded every provider, and enabled "include uruky site search", but it still says "Providers used: Mojeek", and every other search I try shows no mention of the uruky index

It’s too small right now, so we don’t allow you to search it exclusively, yet. Eventually it should become a “proper” search provider once it reaches 100M urls or so.

It’s currently a tiny “indieweb” index, which is why it’s opt-in right now, and not big enough to be in the ordering, yet.

I also don't use Kagi because of Yandex, and my reason is that it's a Russian company, owned by people close to the Russian government.

Kagi seems unfairly picked on here. Lots of people do business with Russia. Multiple EU countries import gas from Russia which, the UK just dropped sanctions on Russian oil, lots of countries do not have sanctions on Russia at all so buying things from those countries might involve money ending up going to Russia. On the other hand Kagi is an American company so is at the very least abiding by US sanctions.

I'm not claiming it's an infallible system and that no single cent of my money goes to Russia. I just do what's within my powers based on the information I have.

I really like the idea and that it's eu-made a love it. A fee things I see with kagi which are useful and improvements: - Hire a UI/UX person NOW! My parents and gf like using google and kagi because are easy to use. - add the widgets like the football or the show the local store with the phone number asap. My gf is thinking about moving away from kagi because of this. - the quick ai response is extremely useful. - I…

> Uruky is a private search engine focused on personalization > - Indexing websites is super important. People doesnt know where to put the content in a website or how to make accessible. Many times i use google due to this fact. Is there a way to build a search engine that doesn't involve either building or accessing a index somehow? I'm not sure what you're trying to say here, is this for the website builders or fo…

I refer to the fact that many websites don't have a proper way to search the content inside the website. For instance, many goverment websites have terrible accessibility and the data seems ofuscated.

Google solves me to search content in those websites

You cannot have an infallible system, but my point is that Kagi keeps getting highlighted, but no-one else seems to.

States consist of people. Russians are shareholders of Russia.

It would be true if Russia was democracy. It is not.

It's not a democracy because they neglect their shareholder duties. In other words, they are responsible for not making it a democracy.
