hey wasteof I’ve been making something I’m quite proud of, a completely independent search engine.
it’s definitely not the best, having only just under 6,000 web pages indexed, but it doesn’t take any data from third parties such as Bing or Google, which most other “search engines” (like DuckDuckGo, Ecosia, Yahoo etc) do
you can try it out at https://novasearch.xyz, it’s still very work in progress, please do feel free to contribute on github, whether by reporting a bug you find or creating a pull request https://github.com/Nova-Search

very much in progress I can tell but everything’s got to start somewhere :D
true, got a lot of web scraping to do, I also plan on opening up the API more to allow other things to use nova search results without having to pay for something like bing or google (and it’ll be easier to use too). things I hope to be able to add in the future range from image search, to those useful little search apps google has like the timer, and autocomplete
