Wonderful project, congratulations! I love the speed, clean design, many options, multilingual results, overall very impressive!!
Some quibbles/points to consider:
* I can't find anything on the people/organisation behind, and can onl guess from the Terms that the team is based in DK.
* Search results are broad and interesting, maybe a bit more weighting for the joint occurrence of terms would be great.
* Developing a site weight over time might be interesting, maybe even with user votes. Currently minor and major sites appear all together and e.g. a search for "Donald" gives me an interesting ranking order that gives neither the most famous Donald's nor the most reliable sites firet (not problematic per se - my fault for entering an unclear search term)
* There are some interesting result patterns, with often official sites quite low. For instance search for "EU" with some term like subsidy (in any of the languages I speak) gives me random project websites but nothing from any of the official EU websites, or "Microsoft 365" (sorry...) gives me no MS website.
* Very minor but hopefully a very easy fix: at least on Firefox mobile there is no direct way to add the search to my search engines, I had to add it manually. For other engines I can long press.on the search field and then get the option.
Great work, keep it up! I will certainly start using this :-)

- viraptor 3y ago> Free ranking feedback Free spam SEO ranking in practice. A spam site has 1000x the incentive to upvote its result than you have to downvote it. YaCy did a distributed index with filtering lists and you effectively had to keep a list of who you trust / your own filter.

- viraptor 3y agoHave you seen any large site with user reviews? Amazon? Yelp? Any feedback on a page that matters will be gamed, because anything over what you spent to game it is pure profit. This is not a solved issue in any meaningful way.
- SebKba 3y agoPaid users only would probably push it in the right direction. It is unfortunate that the internet has moved into everything is advertising as a business model. I get the appeal but cognitively paying so I can keep my attention seems like a way better model.
