    Thanks. I hadn’t heard of it. Looks like it’s a paid subscription for the search engine. Would you recommend it as a general search engine for everyday use?

      Well, it depends on what you want it for.

      I wanted specifically to find a search engine that has a subscription-based model and does not generate its income from data-mining and ads. It doesn’t retain search logs. For me, it’s what I had wanted for some time – a service where I was the customer rather than the product – so I am pretty happy with it.

      It has some other features, but I generally don’t care much about them other than its “Fediverse Forums” search lens, which lets one search the Threadiverse (Lemmy/mbin/piefed).

      looks

      It looks like they also have a Usenet archives search engine that I haven’t looked at. I might look into that, as I used to use Usenet archives search engines.

      I’m happy with it. Depends on what you’re looking for, though.
