#question of the day (#qotd?):

Most #SearchEngines have paid #APIs one can use to retrieve results but there are also #metasearch engines which seem to pull these results without paying for them (e.g., on the small scale, independent #seeks instances). I'm curious about the #legal issues surrounding metasearch. Who pays for the #API? And who uses other methods and why?

#Metasearch

https://metager.org
Es que los metabuscadores usan la indexación de otras que son caca y esto no es excepción pero por curiosidad

So there's this cool Privacy-respecting, hackable metasearch engine that I found on Lemmy.ml https://github.com/searxng/searxng

I've tried it on https://searxng.tordenskjold.de

It's so fuckin' awesome because you can enable crawling through more search engines and you'll get much better results

I am trying neither to diabolize nor to glorify #Russia.
#Yandex I appreciate as an important "data supplier" of numerous #metasearch engines.
But I am also aware that the #Russians are no better than #Americans or #Chinese when it comes to tapping and certainly processing our #data - unfortunately.

#Yacy is a basically very interesting, decentralized #P2P #searchengine.
Their search results are now also included in the German #metasearch engine #Metager.
