* Fairsearch: an ambitious engine from Ahrefs, an SEO/backlink-finder company, that "shares ad profit with creators and protects your privacy". Most engines show results that include keywords from or related to the query; Fairsearch also shows results linked by pages containing the query. In other words, not all results contain relevant keywords. This makes it good for less precise searches and discovery of "related sites". It's far worse at finding very specific information or recent events.

When it officially launches, *it will be under a different name*. I expect Fairsearch to graduate from this section as result relevancy improves.

Google, Bing, and Yandex support structured data such as microformats1, microdata, RDFa, Open Graph markup, and JSON-LD. Yandex's support for microformats1 is limited; for instance, it can parse `h-card` metadata for organizations but not people. Open Graph and Schema.org are the only supported vocabularies I'm aware of. Mojeek is evaluating structured data; it's interested in Open Graph and Schema.org vocabularies.

- [Alexandria](https://www.alexandria.org/): A pretty new "non-profit, ad free" engine, with [freely-licensed code](https://github.com/alexandria-org/alexandria). Surprisingly good at finding recent pages. Its index is built from the Common Crawl; it isn't as big as Gigablast or Right Dao but its ranking is great.
