sorry for taking a while to get back but the main source of mojeek revenue is api sales, having people pay to access results for different applications (bing does similar i.e. duckduckgo, qwant, ecosia)

yes we are indeed a standalone, the sizes of bubbles are reflections of the number of index-usage relationships yep is attached to ahrefs: https://techcrunch.com/2022/06/03/yep-search-engine/ where I can speak to where results come from, I couldn’t tell you about their model

and when people let us know where we fall down we’re able to make it better, growing alongside the userbase!

Swisscows does use Bing, Startpage uses Bing and/or Google depending upon where you are, we are fully independent: https://www.searchenginemap.com/ is a visualisation that might be useful

coming up to 20 years of no tracking, 18 of having the first privacy policy to say it: https://web.archive.org/web/20060318104627/http://www.mojeek.com/privacy.html

hopefully a good consensus 😅 at least seen very little of people saying bad

you can smash the “submit feedback” button on the page when you get a duff search and send it into us, it’s how we improve: https://blog.mojeek.com/2024/02/major-algorithm-update.html

biased but i think they’re doing just swell (and getting better by the day) ;)

thank you kindly, that is great to hear; we’ve got this new and even better (so far testing is showing that) algo ready to go too: https://www.mojeek.com/eval so hopefully it’ll be even more fantastic-er soon :D

Currently looking at mojeek myself

How’d you find us?

We’re always on the lookout for feedback; if you are willing to send in the searches then it really helps us improve.

The Eval Page is also useful for this: https://www.mojeek.com/eval; there’s an improvement algo up there currently we’re getting testing done on.
