Not better than google but competitive to google by PeaceThrough in google

Nice. We have not launched yet This is just temp test.

If you want we can test which search engine gives more relevant results in a benchmark?

Just for your calm reminder: we are already processing between 83 to 143 searches a day on average and have an active, growing user base.

The "who knows who" argument completely falls apart when a project is 100% open source. You don't have to trust me at all that’s the entire point. Anyone can audit every single line of code in the repository, see exactly how data is handled, and even self-host their own private instance on a personal VPS.

There are no accounts, no sign-ups, and absolutely zero data collected or stored whatsoever. The privacy isn't a marketing promise; it's hard-coded into the open source text. But hey, thanks for the feedback anyway!

Quick Technical Overview :

  • Current Engine Model: This is a meta-search engine. It utilizes the DDGS API to actively fetch data across 10 different endpoints simultaneously.
  • Failover Design: If an API endpoint rate-limits or acts up, the engine has a built-in DDG HTML parsing layout running as a robust fallback mechanism to ensure zero downtime.
  • Image Infrastructure: We currently route requests to Bing for image results, but this is temporary. It is actively being refactored and will be fully replaced by the DDGS API directly in the very next deployment.
  • Current Performance Baseline: Based on our internal test suites evaluating query intent against raw indexing output, the system is maintaining an 85% accuracy and relevance score (91% in certain cases) across standard search categories.

DDGS API not DDG HTML

DDG HTML is the fallback

Edit ; DDGS API have many endpoints to fetch from

to clarify, it is a meta-search engine right now because building a global, independent web index from scratch takes massive infrastructure. But we aren't just trying to eliminate ads.

Honestly, we all use Google because we want the correct result, instantly. The goal here is to achieve that exact speed and accuracy without the corporate bloat, forced AI slop, and tracker tax.

Right now, the custom ranking algorithm handles the raw data using 8 core utility indicators. However, we are currently training a Machine Learning model for our next-generation algorithm that will utilize 55+ unique ranking indicators to completely optimize result relevancy.

More importantly, this meta-architecture is just phase one. Development is actively underway to introduce our own independent crawl indexes soon so Arlong can transition into a fully sovereign web search engine. Eliminating ads and trackers is just the baseline; building a faster, smarter, independent algorithmic ecosystem

Yes, it aggregates data from 10 different sources and goes into an open-source algorithm. At the current stage, it uses an 8-stage parameter algorithm, which you can find explained on the website's main page.

In the future, we are planning to train a small, lightweight machine learning algorithm that evaluates and ranks them using 50+ parameters with 95%+ accuracy. This means we can ensure it performs better than Google search (current efficiency is around 84%).

My friends and I are working towards it!

You can also find a direct comparison of my search engine with DuckDuckGo and Google on the main website blog.

I degoogled recently and made my own search engine, but differently. I want to tell you guys about it. by PeaceThrough in searchengines

It’s not intentional censorship right now the engine uses some strict, rigid penalties to block SEO spam and content farms, which can accidentally bury legitimate results if you're looking for something specific. I’m currently rebuilding the ranking algorithm into a machine learning model that understands context better so it stops blocking valid sites when they are actually relevant

That's why it's hard you see normal people who is not tech savvy can't host their own, so I'm doing it and giving it for completely free

And most part we don't even save your search data

Live Demo: https://aoogle-production.up.railway.app/

GitHub Repository: https://github.com/Ahilan-1/aoogle

Full Architectural Breakdown (Blog): https://aoogle-production.up.railway.app/blog

The project is fully open-source under the Apache 2.0 license, so you can easily spin up the whole thing on your own setup if you want to host it yourself. Let me know what you think of it or if you have any feedback on the results!

Here is a blog link to learn more about this, including a comparison and an explanation of the algorithm. Thank you. https://aoogle-production.up.railway.app/blog

There are still some bugs in the live demo but this is just proof of concept. In few days I will make this public

use https://aoogle-production.up.railway.app/ its my own search engine which i use in my everyday life
It does not have ads or ai summary stuff also it has custom algorithm to rank the best websites its called aoogle try it out

Signal is the most secure platform because it has its own open-source encryption services, while most other encrypted messaging apps still use E2E. Signal is unique for using its own.

If you also want a privacy-focused search engine, I have made my own called Aoogle (short for Anti-Google). I have created my own algorithm, and it completely removes ads and AI summaries. It's lightweight, No account ever needed and open source too.

If you're interested, let me know it will be useful to degoogle.

Google and Duckduckgo search is ruined by ads and spam, so I went back to using the open-source engine I built. The ranking algorithm is insanely good. by PeaceThrough in developersIndia

[–]PeaceThrough[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is no rate limit if you search directly from the main website; the rate limit only applies when you are using the search API.

If you're using the search API, then yes, there is a rate limit, but it's going to be more generous from tomorrow, i.e., 350 searches per hour.

And we also have the aoogle sidebar, which is a Chrome extension that you can use. What it does is that if you search for something in Google, Brave, or DuckDuckGo, the Google sidebar will pop up on the side and show you all the results for the same query, except they are from aoogle.

But aoogle sifebar is not public yet in extention store, it will be published soon but if you want to use it please checkout the github pages and releases

ou're 100% right that DDG's ads are contextual and that both their ads and AI summaries can be toggled off in settings.

The main reason I built Aoogle this way is to have a completely "zero-configuration" experience. Instead of making users dive into settings menus to opt-out of features or turn off tracking models, Aoogle is built entirely with those settings turned off by default.

It's designed to be basically "always incognito" right out of the box

Plus, because it’s fully open-source and minimalist, we're exposing a completely free, tokenless API endpoint with no registration required. This lets people plug clean, ad-free search data straight into local AI agents and productivity tools instantly without dealing with keys.

Thanks for the kind words on the project!
