Learned about it thanks to the Fireside Fedi Podcast. Might just end up becoming a new way to find solutions/perspectives by real people, just as looking for reddit results has been in the past for many people.
TIL about Fedi-Search, an open sourced frontend to easily search the Fediverse with a lot of mainstream engines

with a hyphen in the name? No. Stop. Go back. Do it again.

Just get the non-hyphened domain and point to it.

Started using Kago to its full extent this month and its by far the best investment I’m paying for monthly. Its such a breeze to use!

Ooo this is cool.
I hope they add support for Nodebb and Qwant.

Looking at the very short script that powers the site, adding additional search engines is trivial (though at some point will make refactoring obligatory).

Just provide a way to self host searx instance and then provide nightly backups of the DB so you don’t have to run the crawler

Honestly I think proper search is one of the biggest things holding the fediverse back from mainstream adoption. It needs exposure, and it needs to be easy to find information and communities around obscure topics in order to really replace silos like reddit and facebook. I’m glad to see this exists, and I particularly like that it supports kagi.
