Teclis – Non-commercial web search

Yay! Finally a good alternative search index :)

Plus I'm impressed that kagi.com teclis.com and the Orion browser is all the same guy ^^

EDIT: And "Kagi was created in 2018 and is running on tight budget, bootstrapped by the founder's funds from the previous exit. "

The results seem crappy to me, teclis found what I wanted zero percent of the time.

Hopefully they can keep iterating and improving this; a new entrant to Search is always welcome!

Because we desperately need something better and more useful than Goggle. It'll take a paradigm shift, for sure.

> The way detection works is we count the number of uBO blocked requests on the page, and if too many (threshold is set to 5), we kick it out, leaving only "clean" pages in the index.

I'm genuinely surprised there were any pages left to crawl.

Unfortunately this also kicks out genuinely useful blogs and other pages that are otherwise helpful but happen to be using a platform or framework that makes a few block-worthy requests.

I can't figure out if all of Wikipedia is in the removed set or just ranked too low to show up in results. On the browser, the site seems clean.

Lots of great new search engines popping up that search the rest of the web that Google tends to ignore.
