Nostalgia Nerd delivers a great exploration of web search #history, inc. the battle of the #search engines in the late 1990s. A lovely precis of the era and all its quircks. Both nostalgic and nerdy in equal measure, so does what is says on the tin!
"I look at the glory days of search, when AltaVista, Lycos, Excite!, Ask Jeeves, DogPile, InfoSeek and MSN were just some of the choices available. Such exciting times."

Cool. Can I search for “Robe” though?
Thanks Kevin Lynagh for the photo
Just created a @kagihq Feedback thread on crypto payment options.
https://kagifeedback.org/d/6733-more-crypto-payment-options
Currently they use only Stripe billing, Paypal and Opennode's Bitcoin payment gate.
So if you have Ethereum, Monero or any other popular coin, then you're out of luck.
So, please vote if you also want more crypto payment options for privacy-oriented search engine.
P.S. I think this becomes even more relevant since they've recently announced their Privacy Pass.
Umm...
#duckduckgo are you aware how many people moved to your #search in order to ESCAPE these sort of " #ai " / "assistant" summaries?

I'm also experimenting with using Pagefind to provide search for my static site using client-side Javascript. It currently analyzes 10934 files and indexes 8183 pages (87272 words) in 40 seconds. The data is 125MB, but a search for, say, "sketchnote" transfers only 280KB, so that's pretty good. I think I'm adding the date properly and I know I can set that as the default sort, but I haven't yet figured out how to make it possible for people to sort by either relevance or date as they want. I also want to eventually format the search results to include the date. Maybe Building a Pagefind UI – dee.underscore.world will be useful. #pagefind #ssg #search

Microsoft begins rolling out Local Semantic Search to Windows Insiders with Intel or AMD-powered Copilot_ PCs. It lets you search by description in File Explorer, Windows Search, or Settings. While it runs on-device, you can also disable indexing of some or all folders. #AI #CopilotPlus #Search #Microsoft #Windows https://blogs.windows.com/windows-insider/2025/03/24/announcing-windows-11-insider-preview-build-26120-3585-beta-channel/

Bing is testing a new menu item called "Search". It is located next to the "Copilot" item and provides a more or less simple results page made by AI.
One interesting feature is "See reasoning": it provides a definition, some specific web searches and linked sources for further reading.
Is this Bing's version of the future of search?
Well, after learning that a nice European service is paying money to russian company I was forced to look for alternatives. That lead me to Brave Search and into trying Perplexity AI. So far looks good, but still evaluating
