Infotiger also has a Tor hidden service. * seekport: The interface is in German but it supports searching in English just fine. The default language is selected by your locale. It’s really good considering its small index; it hasn’t heard of less common terms, but it’s able to find relevant results in other tests. It's the second-fastest-improving engines in this section. * Exalead: slow, quality is hit-and-miss. Its indexer claims to crawl the DMOZ directory, which has since shut down and been replaced by the Curlie directory. No relevant results for “Oppenheimer” and some other history-related queries. Allows submitting individual URLs for indexing, but requires solving a Google reCAPTCHA and entering an email address. diff --git a/content/posts/search-engines-with-own-indexes.md b/content/posts/search-engines-with-own-indexes.md index e10953c..f1016ff 100644 --- a/content/posts/search-engines-with-own-indexes.md +++ b/content/posts/search-engines-with-own-indexes.md @@ -138,7 +138,7 @@ These engines fail badly at a few important tests.
