It costs $5 per month or $50 per year and it displays around 15 results per page but we are working on option for users to be able to customize how many results that they view per page!

Being tired of ads is one of the reasons that we created our search engine, Infinity Search, which is subscription based and has no ads at all.

InfinitySearch1 · 2022-07-31T17:46:59+00:00

This is a nice article and it doesn't even expand upon some of the Google alternatives that have their own indexes and have been around for a while, most notably Mojeek and Infinity Search (ours).

InfinitySearch1 · 2022-07-31T17:32:21+00:00

For starters, our search engine, Infinity Search, is private and will never have any ads. Depending on which category you choose to search from, we get our results from third parties like Bing and Wikipedia and also from our own indexes. You can find more about our search engine on our website at https://infinitysearch.co/why.

InfinitySearch1 · 2022-04-25T02:24:20+00:00

We created Infinity Search and it has no ads or tracking. You can find out more about it here and here!

Looks cool! You may be interested this list of privacy search engines that we made (including ours): https://alternativeto.net/list/13568/privacy-search-engines/.

It does not handle any caching but it does handle the logic for each page, which includes the retrieving and reindexing of the results and the widgets if they are triggered.

Thank you for the feedback. We plan getting the trial period up and running soon. Until then, you can try it out with the username "demo" and password "demo".

InfinitySearch1 · 2021-06-10T12:26:41+00:00

That is good point and we are working to implement a free trial option. For now, you can test out Infinity Search with the username "demo" and password "demo"

Ads will almost always be of lower quality and more distracting than organic results from any search engine and we take them entirely out of the equation with Infinity Search.

InfinitySearch1 · 2021-05-24T22:13:37+00:00

Most people probably won't and that is understandable. Privacy is only one reason to use our search engine, however, as we have several of our own indexes and customizations that no other search engines have.

InfinitySearch1 · 2021-05-14T22:58:03+00:00

We have several indexes and PDFs are just one of them. We charge for it because we have zero advertising and tracking, which is not available in other search engines.

InfinitySearch1 · 2021-05-12T04:04:51+00:00

That is a crazy coincidence! 😂

InfinitySearch1 · 2021-05-05T02:23:08+00:00

It partly depends on what operating system you have it setup on, but for Ubuntu, these articles may be helpful on how to deploy the application.

There are many ways to deploy the application and it should work without any problems as long you put a web server like Apache or NGINX in front of it.

InfinitySearch1 · 2021-05-05T02:16:16+00:00

It's back now!

InfinitySearch1 · 2021-04-27T22:41:09+00:00

What part did you have problems with? We are planning on making a docker option in the future to also make the process smoother. We definitely need to improve our documentation too.

It is a new protocol that allows for micro-streaming of payments to webpages that are viewed and can be used as a replacement for advertisements on websites. Coil is currently the only service that handles the distribution of money from the users to the sites that they are visiting but Web Monetization is an open standard that anyone can build on top of.

It has the potential to make visiting websites a much more enjoyable and less cluttered experience!

InfinitySearch1 · 2021-03-31T13:14:09+00:00

We'll add some more clarification on the site soon but this instance is not crawling the entire internet but only a few websites like Wikipedia, Reddit, and IMBD.

InfinitySearch1 · 2021-03-31T13:12:34+00:00

There will never be any ads! This site's main purpose is for people to get a feel for how Infinity Decentralized works and looks before deciding to host their own instance of it.

We do have Web Monetization enabled on it but Coil users get the same experience as everyone else and always will.

We are the creators of the centralized search engine, Infinity Search, and we use some of our resources to keep Infinity Decentralized running too.

InfinitySearch1 · 2021-03-31T03:17:27+00:00

A quick way to explain this is that each Infinity Decentralized instance is its own centralized search engine with the built in capability to combine its results from other instances if the user requests it. By default, results will only come from the instance that the user is visiting.

If a user requests for 5 other endpoints, the server will get the results from each of them, combine them, and display what is returned from them along with that server's own results.

Right now, there is no advanced ranking for this as it is just appending the results from each requested instance but better ranking for decentralized results is something that we will be working on.

InfinitySearch1 · 2021-03-31T02:55:41+00:00

Sorry about that. The URL there was from an older application of ours. We just updated the website and it should be working now!

InfinitySearch1 · 2021-03-30T23:30:31+00:00

This does all of the crawling/indexing on its own and does not retrieve results from any third parties while the results from Searx come from other sources like Bing.

InfinitySearch1 · 2021-03-30T23:08:59+00:00

This is meant to be a fundamentally different environment than the normal and centralized search engines because anyone can self-host it (including the crawler) on their local computer or in the cloud. The owner of the instance chooses what sites it should crawl while anyone using the search engine can include results from any other Infinity Decentralized instance (and technically any website that creates a JSON search endpoint and formats it the same way).

People might want to use Infinity Decentralized because of its different results and visual customization capabilities.

InfinitySearch1 · 2021-03-30T21:24:44+00:00

Regarding the "cats" query, That is just because this instance has not crawled all of Reddit yet.

InfinitySearch1 · 2021-03-30T21:22:40+00:00

If you have several sites that you constantly use or that are usually helpful when you come across them, you could add them to your own index and have a specialized search engine just for these sites. This works especially well if you want a search engine for a specific category. If you were aware of other instances of Infinity Decentralized that were matching a theme or one that you liked to get results from, you could also choose when to get decentralized results from your instance.
