I remember when a search engine would return over 1 million different hits - now it's mostly dead internet theory (the same 'sponsored links' fill the search page and it loops back to repeat after several pages).

Not much of a theory anymore. Literally everything is being erased and memory-holed.

Sometimes Bing sort of works.

Brave search is like a sad parody of google. Where any useful hit is removed.

Brave is dead now totally pathetic. Power browser is wayyyy more useful now

[ - ] lord_nougat 3 points 2 monthsFeb 25, 2025 13:26:07 ago (+3/-0)

I need a browser that can hide its power level..

I actually find their AI search summary to be the best of all of them. For some things it's better than o3-mini-high.

[ - ] CasualObserver 1 point 2 monthsFeb 25, 2025 15:33:23 ago (+1/-0)

would you explain the objection to brave browser?

[ - ] 1point21jiggawatts 10 points 2 monthsFeb 25, 2025 16:01:09 ago (+10/-0)

Well mainly it's cause it talks like a fag and it's shit's all retarded.

And it's Mom dresses it funny.

Don't worry scro'! There are plenty of 'tarded Brave users out there living really kick ass lives. My first wife was 'tarded. She's a pilot now.

Google only returns about 200 results - despite it's bullshit on the first page.
Doesn't matter what you search for - you'll never be allowed to see more than that.

[ - ] dosvydanya_freedomz 4 points 2 monthsFeb 25, 2025 18:32:09 ago (+4/-0)

yup thats controlling the flow of information.

Yandex is great for finding old memes that are now verboten

[ - ] Eliack 4 points 2 monthsFeb 25, 2025 14:19:13 ago (+4/-0)

Yandex is of Russian origin so they have no horse in that race. Meanwhile, Russians are complaining that their search engine is actively censoring opposition and recommending Google to each other.

[ - ] Sal_180 5 points 2 monthsFeb 25, 2025 18:25:26 ago (+6/-1)

Jewish origin. Set up by Israeli jews living in Moscow

[ - ] x0x7 3 points 2 monthsFeb 26, 2025 00:05:38 ago (+3/-0)

Sometimes it's good to see the news of the other side. It makes perfect sense for Americans to use Yandex and for Russians to use Google if they want to escape the bubble planned for them.

Like five eyes but for people instead of governments.

I was looking for documentation about a local elections that was rerun a few years ago because ostensibly some absentee ballots were counted after a deadline.
Only yandex could find it.
Bing, google brave just didn't have any hits.

[ - ] Spaceman84 1 point 2 monthsFeb 25, 2025 16:06:14 ago (+1/-0)

Try SearX

[ - ] 1point21jiggawatts 3 points 2 monthsFeb 25, 2025 15:59:56 ago (+3/-0)

Yup been using Yandex for that very reason.

[ - ] FuckShitJesus 3 points 2 monthsFeb 25, 2025 12:34:01 ago (+3/-0)

This is absolutely true, unfortunately. Russia's Google is the only search engine worth using.

Best example - it's literally impossible to find Mr. Robot's S2E2 scene "You can't have the CON without the CONFIDENCE", if you search any American search engine or even searching Youtube itself.. but the entire first page of Yandex search results finds the video.

It's fucking disgusting.

[ - ] Spaceman84 1 point 2 monthsFeb 25, 2025 16:06:43 ago (+1/-0)

Try SearX mirrors

Show me where you found this on an American search engine. What was the query you typed?

[ - ] Kozel 0 points 2 monthsFeb 25, 2025 23:38:55 ago (+0/-0)

If I want to find a torrent I use a torrent website. If I want to find an ebook I use an ebook website. If I want to find a tv show I use a tv show website.

One could use google to find a video piracy website, perhaps with the web search 'video piracy guide'.

What is the significance of 'Mr. Robot's S2E2 scene "You can't have the CON without the CONFIDENCE"'?

[ - ] FuckShitJesus 0 points 2 monthsFeb 26, 2025 12:06:33 ago (+0/-0)

It explains the entire system.

[ - ] Sal_180 -1 points 2 monthsFeb 25, 2025 13:53:43 ago (+1/-2)

The jews make a good search engine.

[ - ] clymer 2 points 2 monthsFeb 25, 2025 18:56:51 ago (+2/-0)

Agreed. I use yandex.eu for english search (because .com is blocked). I remember when google destroyed all other search and produced results that were both relevant and useful. Now it's totally useless, broken beyond usability. Even for run of the mill tech questions

[ - ] dosvydanya_freedomz 2 points 2 monthsFeb 25, 2025 18:30:23 ago (+2/-0)

unfortunately, yandex is the only source. the real source if you want to find non biased content. like i said in another thread we are the new soviets now. silicon valley went mad with the censorship and what really strikes me is that westerners take up in the fucking ass

at least the old people that lived in the soviet union knew when pravda and izvestia and other party media were spewing bullshit.

westerners believe the lies and accept the censorship with pleasure.

Thanks for the tip. When I use the default engines for ‘jews behind the aclu’ I get very little. When I use Yandex I get quite a return.

[ - ] Sleazy 2 points 2 monthsFeb 25, 2025 18:03:54 ago (+2/-0)

how difficult is it to create a web crawler and and indexing algorithm?

[ - ] boekanier 1 point 2 monthsFeb 26, 2025 08:23:32 ago (+1/-0)

I can hardly find anything anymore, this has become the internet of the first day

[ - ] AlexanderMorose13 2 points 2 monthsFeb 25, 2025 15:11:03 ago (+2/-0)

Last I heard, Freespoke was the go-to for good searches without manipulation. Before that, it was Qwant. Has that changed at all recently?

[ - ] Spaceman84 2 points 2 monthsFeb 25, 2025 16:05:53 ago (+2/-0)

SearX mirrors are solid

[ - ] 3Whuurs 1 point 2 monthsFeb 26, 2025 03:25:46 ago (+1/-0)

It’s definitely the best. But even they’ve gotten log jammed with main stream bullshit.

[ - ] x0x7 1 point 2 monthsFeb 25, 2025 22:54:39 ago (+1/-0)

Even beyond forbidden stuff, it actually searches the web. Google went all in on the "authority" score. Now it only links to stackoverflow, reddit, and WaPo/CNN/nShit. So I don't even think they bother to index a lot of the internet. Why? If you aren't going to link to it.

[ - ] namefagsrgay 1 point 2 monthsFeb 25, 2025 13:19:03 ago (+1/-0)

Maybe if you're using banned words. The other search engines suck dick for actually finding local sources of what I need.

And Yandex is where all the scammers trying to phish me lurk.
