Does anyone use https://presearch.com/
(presearch.com)
Browsing the web I came across this (meta) search engine. From the first glance, it seems promising and giving quite a good results to my searches. Definitely better than Google, Bing or DDG, which tend to be full of SEO/ads/AI bullshit these days. Does anyone use it?
It somehow implies it's open source and indeed there is github https://github.com/PresearchOfficial too, but I can't find any link from the presearch.com itself to it. It's just... IDK, weird?
I'm immediately suspicious of anything that says "earn crypto rewards" so that's a "no" from me.
I just use Searx-NG as my meta search engine, and it's been pretty good.
There's another self-hosted actual search engine (with its own dataset + crawler) but I forget its name off the top of my head. I've been looking into setting that up to experiment with.
Yeah, that crypto part must be new(ish). I remember it definitely wasn't there about half year ago when I first find out presearch. I believe it had no account to create either.
Well, I'll give SearXNG another chance I assume.
Lol it was there, I used to use it during the pandemic and the earning for each search thing was def there in 2020.
They might not make it as obvious anymore though
My bad, did not notice it before. It could not be this visible, though, right?
