@ -111,13 +111,12 @@ These engines fail badly at a few important tests. Otherwise, they seem to work
* Infotiger: Allows choosing between multiple different sorting algorithms (date, text length, PageRank, and "AND"). Supports English and German. The legacy version allows submitting links via a web-form or email, but I don't know if that has an impact on the more recent alpha version.
* search.tl: Generalist search for one TLD at a time (defaults to .com). I'm not sure why you'd want to always limit your searches to a single TLD, but now you can.⁹ There isn't any visible UI for changing the TLD for available results; you need to add/change the "tld" URL paramater. For example, to search .org sites, append "&tld=org" to the URL. It seems to be connected to Amidalla.de, but Amidalla doesn't seem to currently be operational. Amidalla allows users to manually add URLs to its index and directory; I have yet to see if doing so impacts search.tl results.
* Kozmonavt: Has a small index of almost 5 million sites. If I want to find the website for a certain project, Kozmonavt works well (provided its index has crawled said website). It works poorly for learning things and finding general information. I cannot recommend it for anything serious since it lacks contact information, a privacy policy, or any other information about the org/people who made it. Discovered in the seirdy.one access logs.
* Burf.co: Very small index, but seems fine at ranking more relevant results higher. Allows site submission without any extra steps.
