Anybody knows Cliqz's database stack? Curious to see what powers a large scale information retrieval index of this sort.
FYI, there will be a bunch of articles regarding search in the next week.
What I really want, is not another search engine for contextless queries. Except for really basic queries (which Google/etc already do a good job at), I'm trying to answer a question, perhaps open-ended, and it will take multiple queries to resolve. And it's not a linear process of narrowing down with + or - keywords. It's establishing a context: I'm searching for something relevant to "go" the language, not "go" the…
I believe this is called faceted search.
I also want to maintain a longer-term list of pages/sites to exclude. Like, unless otherwise specified, I never want results from w3schools or expertsexchange.
This field is ripe for disruption, in my opinion. We can do so much better, but I've not seen any serious attempts.
> Europe has failed to build its own digital infrastructure. US companies such as Google have thus been able to secure supremacy. They ruthlessly exploit our data. They skim off all profits. They impose their rules on us. In order not to become completely dependent and end up as a digital colony, we Europeans must now build our own independent infrastructure as the foundation for a sovereign future. A future in which our values apply. A future in which Europe receives a fair share of the added value. A future in which we all have sovereign control over our data and our digital lives. And this is exactly why we at Cliqz are developing digital key technologies made in Germany.
One that is based on analyzing the content of a page then on it's page rank.
Self speaking that it has to be open source.
Apache SOLR would be a good starting point.

AltaVista used to do this. I miss it terribly.
I would like to read this but I can't reach the web server. Is it just me? Had the same issue with another article from this same site a couple of days ago. Looks like everyone else is able to read it but for some reason not me. Anyone know what's going on?
The nationalism on the homepage is a little odd... in particular since they're still essentially building on top of Google. https://cliqz.com/en/ > Europe has failed to build its own digital infrastructure.

But what I would really like to see, as has been mentioned in other threads, is an open-source or community-funded search engine. Something that "belongs to the web" itself, so to speak, and not to any particular corporation.
Tldr 1% of german firefox installations automatically uploaded search queries to cliquz. I wont trust a search engine like this with any of my data.
