    I think a lot of this is due to Google both owning search and the ads on the websites (AdSense). There’s an incentive for them to prioritize click farms (and other sites filled with their ads). I think in general there may be a correlation

    Good idea! Would you pay for a premium version where you can customize the whitelist (and additional features) if it were available? Bing charges around $5 per 1000 searches, so I guess it would cost about the same. (Google's API is li

    Yes! Maybe I'll build a premium customizable version out of it. Do you think that'd be useful? Bing charges around $5 per 1000 searches, so the premium version would be around the same (with caching covering hosting, maybe).

    Thanks! Ads are added automatically by Google. The whole thing is little more than a wrapper around the 'Programmable Search Element Control API' which is an HTML element you can just insert into any site, like an iframe. Unfortun

    (obviously: this is subjective, so what's significant to me may not be to you.) Honestly I just created this search engine for myself to find things more easily while programming or studying (I study biology, cs and ai; and philosophy

    Glad you're interested in the source code! As explained in my other comment, this website is a wrapper around google programmable search. The actual searching happens on Google servers, and I can see why people have problems with that.
