Thanks! We're currently trying to get in touch with proxysto.re for that. Light Spark seems based in the US, so we can't consider them, I'm afraid.
Why do you need to involve a third party to implement bitcoin payments?

Thanks! I'm currently in the middle of building a date filter I expect to launch later today. Still, was this using Mojeek or EUSP? Have you tried Linkup or Serper for those kinds of searches? You don't have to change your default search providers, you can just choose one from the bottom of the results list.
Wait do I have to choose what search provider I use for every search? They don't get merged by Uruky?

#143Nice - I like this. Especially that I can also use it via API too and that expectations are limits are set out clearly (which seem very generous). On limits - consider changing the short limit on this: > searches to 1 per second, 30 per minute, and 1800 per hour. to 5 per 5 seconds or 10/10. That still works out to one per second but users are less likely to accidentally hit it with two requests that have similar tim…
Good point. We have never had any reports of customers legitimately hitting these, but we can probably loosen them up a bit.
e.g. Suppose you have 3 subagents getting triggered that all want to do a search.
>can probably loosen them up a bit.
Definitely wouldn't move the top 2. That would just be hard to walk back later

#144- Google has been around for 20+ years, so the concept of search engine and the technologies behind it should have been well known.
- Computing power and Internet speed has increased significantly and in many homes (at least outside of US) 1Gbps is norm.
- Everyone is talking about Google deteriorating over the years and prefer the old Google. The old system from the 2000s should be dirt cheap to run with modern home hardware.
- People's need for search engine is highly specific, you presumably would be interested in searching a small subset of the whole Internet.
My question is: why haven't a local run search engine be a thing at least in the tech circles?
It should be able to bootstrap with e.g. an hourly updated "top 100 websites in 50 categories" index file, and adapt to my daily queries to automatically update the index in the background, and iteratively improves the quality of the results.
The rise of the local LLM users proves this model works.

What's wrong with Yandex? I think every possible criticism of Yandex I can think of could just as easily be leveled at Google or Bing.
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.

but surely you realize that people going to kagi also don’t like google or bing.
With Uruky, these customers can now move on instead, and the lower price will serve as another reason. And then they also don't have to worry anymore that their accountant is going to call at 3AM and demand that they "justify" the gigantic subscription cost.
And Kagi can focus on the only real selling point they have: Search results quality. Which is where their future lies and what most potential customers are looking to pay for. Not being anti-Google.

The world also consists of people. Are you saying that people around me are better than the Russians? Sure, nice to have finally agree about something. But that just proves the point you were trying to argue with.
No, you misread. I didn't say people around you are better; I said you probably live in a country with working government institutions and fair elections. I don't feel you approach this discussion in good faith. I see no point in continuing.
