This is not an ad BTW, I literally stumbled upon it a few minutes ago. From what I can gather, however, this is a [DIY-ish] search engine that solely searches on text (no other forms of media, such as, ... idk hypertext maybe), which allows users to have more control over queries (like including and excluding terms). I suppose this would prune out most of the modern websites, but I guess some of y'all would prefer that option anyway. Has anyone else tried it out? I'm genuinely curious about more opinions on this

This is an independent DIY search engine that focuses on non-commercial content, and attempts to show you sites you perhaps weren't aware of in favor of the sort of sites you probably already knew existed.

Where this search engine really shines is finding small, old and obscure websites about some given topic, perhaps old video games, a mystery, theology, the occult, knitting, computer science, or art.

Also apparently self-hosted in the basement of some person in Sweden 💌
