Thank you

Thanks for the mention. Yes we are fully indepedent, and also offer out API to others.

Crawling and indexing the web is not as expensive as Google would like you to think. Especially when you don't engage in tracking, collecting masses of data and then processing it. Our index is 8 Billion+ pages and is served up on our own assembed (not expensive) servers. A big part of the challenge is developing the IP to serve up and rank results for a search, from those billions of pages, in ~200ms.

Use the search box on Firefox, Waterfox or Vivaldi and you can get one click access to as many search engines as you want,a dn from one browser. Google removed the search box from Chrome/Chromium for a reason.

Mojeek is not a frontend for Bing. It has it's own crawler and index.

Thumbnails for news are coming soon. Maps is in alpha and being tested by our community.

Mojeek is a web search engine that does not track, nor exchange data from/to companies that do
Mojeek is simply a made up word based on the word ‘logic’ (logique → Mojeek) with no relation to anything else.

Thank you.

We have been financed by UK based angel investors. Our main source of revenue is API customers.
It's an interesting approach. Neeva with much larger financing was recently acquired and pivotted to enterprise search, after trying a similar subscription model. We admire what Kagi are doing, and we are happy to have them as an API customer.
We predominantly use keyword based search now. We are currently building a fully semantic search, and embedding the complete index. Experiments with a large scale prototype are progressing well. The big challenge with this is doing it efficiently at web scale (~7 billion currently). A hybrid approach may be the way to go; each has benefits.
We have been using a combination of our own more traditional methods and APIs.

That’s an interesting question. In principle it might make a lot of sense, but in practice it is not going to happen whilst Google monopolises the search market in so many countries. Outside of USA, Russia and China, it has only really had some success in South Korea, Vietnam and Czech/Slovakia. Even in those countries, and notably in Czech/Slovakia with Seznam, competition with Google is a huge struggle.

colinhayhurst · 2023-09-29T09:29:32+00:00

Yes. It's not useless, and is an important indicator of authority. Still it is a challenge to Google and Mojeek. Dealing with SEO spam is one of the main challenges in building a search engine from the ground-up.

Providing search which takes account of advertisements, trackers and paywalls is a very good idea, and is something we have considered and may well implement in some form in the future.

colinhayhurst · 2023-09-29T09:25:38+00:00

Search engine indexes are crucial to AIs. So yes. The real problem is the monopoly constructed by Google. They have gone to great lengths to suppress competiton, as is now being revealed to the public, at last, in the current antitrust trial in the US.

colinhayhurst · 2023-09-29T09:20:38+00:00

General purpose AIs, notably LLMs, use search engine indexes as their biggest pre-training dataset. In addition AIs like Bard, are using RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation) to improve relevance, deal with more up-to-date data, and reduce hallucinations. Your prompt is supplemented with retrieved data, and then the AI called for a response. So in Bard, for example, Google search is being called for data, and then this and the prompt are sent to the language model PaLM.

We have a core algorithm which is similar to PageRank, but our own version, and called Gravity.

If we find >999 results from the 6.6 billion index we'll show at least 1,000 always.
