As I've used the website before, I was surprised to see a larger number of search results than usual. Turns out <a href="https://wiby.org/" rel="nofollow">https://wiby.org/</a> is distinct from the older version, <a href="https://wiby.me/" rel="nofollow">https://wiby.me/</a>, which only indexes few sites.
Wiby.org is my homepage. I occasionally click "surprise me..." to view 90s style websites. I find them more interesting than scrolling though modern stuff.
Looks like a very early version of searx, which is an open source privacy-respecting metasearch engine:<p><a href="https://searx.me/" rel="nofollow">https://searx.me/</a>
I really like the wiby.me version of this. It displays results only from early web style pages; a great throwback to an era where not everything was "corporate".
I used to know of a search engine that supported a bunch of added functionality for searching some selected popular sites. Like "wp whatever" would search just Wikipedia. It supported many man little command shortcuts.<p>It was popular among dwm/i3 users, and I have forgotten it :(<p>I was a fan of MacOS performing searches with Command + Spacebar, so on Linux I scripted a similar popup-prompt that would open Firefox and feed my input to this search engine.
OMG! I can actually search for something and not end up in some conglomerate corporate non informational results. This is a dream! How are you able to filter out all the garbage.
Tested my app: <a href="https://videohubapp.com/" rel="nofollow">https://videohubapp.com/</a><p>Searched for "Video Hub App" and it didn't find my website :(
wow, I really like this! I'm really fed up with what google has turned into and miss when search was just a simple list of blue links w/o the unnecessary noise. Will start using this, thanks!
