A search engine that's optimized for surfing/discovery rather than finding specific information. Focuses on simple, non-commercial, hobbyist sites reminicent of the "old web" without much CSS/JS.

 

Most “alternative” search engines to the big three (Google, Bing, Yandex aka GBY) just proxy their results from GBY. I took a look at 30 non-meta search engines with their own crawlers/indexers to find actual alternatives.

Feedback + additions welcome.

 

I've been using a self-hosted webmentiond on my own site for about a month and a half, and I've loved the experience so I thought I'd share. Deploying is easy; it's just a single statically-linked binary and an assets directory for the web UI.
