Beyond search results, a significant amount of googles value is in its “apps”, or whatever they call the functional snippets like calculator, translator etc. built into the engine. I wonder if it would make sense to have cross platform plug-ins, so that all of these interesting nascent search engine efforts could automatically benefit from new plug-ins and an ecosystem could start to develop. It’s great to have an al…
Lots of great new search engines popping up that search the rest of the web that Google tends to ignore. Other ones worth checking out include: - https://search.marginalia.nu/ (A non-commercial search engine) - https://wiby.me/ (Tends to have those really weird and cool indie sites) - https://searchmysite.net/ (An index of personal websites) - https://indieweb-search.jamesg.blog/ (Search IndieWeb websites) - https://…

IMO, Kagi and Brave search are the two best alternative general search engines right now.
Runnaroo was pretty good as well ;-)
"cool shirts for summer" and then search places like Reddit, fashion forums, etc. basically all areas where UGC is relatively authentic. And then toggle it for "paid for blogs", like strategist, wirecutter, rtings, etc.
This is such a fantastic search engine. Obviously not perfect, but the search results are information rather than blogspam/ads/etc. Breath of fresh air. Funnily enough I somehow ranked #1 for "ADHD" but I don't know what's particularly special about my landing page. Does your crawler look prioritize/crawl HN by any chance?
This is a really cool concept. Reminds me of the old(er) days when the web was a bit quieter and there wasn't an entire apparatus designed to steal your attention and focus. This seems like a really good way to do research as well: people offering information without the expectation of getting paid for it.
Does not seem to be usable even for basic searches. Also, no https? Examples: http://teclis.com/search?q=angular+ http://teclis.com/search?q=ANGULAR+DOCS http://teclis.com/search?q=angular+documentation
https://teclis.com works just fine, site was submitted using its http link (maybe mods can change it).
* Fun Challenge Find a query that has only one result in Teclis! Then read that page. I think found one but failed to read that (which?) page. http://teclis.com/search?q=sysadmin+horror+stories
Hey all - creator here. It looks like next page of results does not work currently because wrong query param (should be "q" instead of "topics"). Easy enough to manually change if you need it. As a few of you noticed, narrow searches do not work very well because this is not a general web search engine and has a tiny index compared to Google. Use Teclis to discover more about a broader topic you are interested in and…
> As a few of you noticed, narrow searches do not work very well because this is not a general web search engine and has a tiny index compared to Google. Use Teclis to discover more about a broader topic you are interested in and to discover writing from 'clean' websites on the web. Are you getting better results with vector search? I've been looking at this problem with my search engine as well. I've recently side-l…

Credit to them for trying some new things on the UI front, but it looks like the organic results are from Bing (like most other alt/privacy search engines). It would be interesting to learn more about how/if they plan to build their own index, or set themselves apart.
