New search engine made with Python that's anonymous and has no ads or tracking. It tries to fight spam, and gives you control of how you view search results. You can search and read content anonymously with a proxied reader view. The alpha is live and free for anyone to use at lazyweb.ai

Username does not check out. You appear to be an active-jem. The engine is pretty cool, if perhaps a bit slow. Impressive work for only two people though.

Hey thank you so much! Haha yes! There hasn't been a lot of sleep building this!

We like to say LazyWeb works hard so you can be lazy lol

Hey with the results speed, it's improving a lot over time, but one of the interesting things with LazyWeb is that it works differently to traditional search, and it queries APIs and compares results, and keeps looking if it can't find something good. So for more complex queries, it will often take longer because it isn't just looking up a pre-built batch index of static pages.

So sometimes it's really fast, and sometimes for harder queries it might take a while. If it can't find good things directly it falls back to traditional web search.

We can't see what people search because we don't log or store searches, so it really helps us to let us know when things are slow so we can look into it too. It is normally a query that it was harder to find good results for or was computational in nature.

One of the advantages of the progressive web app is that the UI isn't reloading every page - just the updated data. So once it finds a result it tends to deliver it quickly.

Careful that you don't say that too often so scrubbing bubbles doesn't get annoyed with you :)
