Comment on Google Removes Sci-Hub Domains from U.S. Search Results Due to Dated Court Order
scintilla@crust.piefed.social 1 day agoI’m genuinely contemplating paying for kagi at this point. Only one I haven’t heard people (fairly) talking shit about recently.

If we remove Yandex then Google has to go too.

Honestly, I would prefer to build my own search engines if possible.

It’s possible. Search engines are just big reference databases.
They have crawlers that search the web based on links to each other and then save metadata about the pages.There are some projects already that you can use.
The problem is the data, if everyone of us have to build it ourselves it’s going to be tedious, and more importantly biased to however you are scraping.

I’ve paid for kagi for a few years, I would definitely recommend it!

Would recommend. Been using it for a couple years now, and it actually feels gross when I end up on Google.
You will hear shit from a small group on Lemmy about how they also use Yandex for search results, but it’s a pretty hollow argument that keeps being used as some big “gotcha”. But if that’s a turn off for you, it is what it is.
