The main difference is Mojeek is a crawler-based search engine, whereas DuckDuckGo is a metasearch engine. Crawler search engines build their own index of web pages, whereas metasearch engines build on top of other crawlers, like DuckDuckGo whose organic results primarily come from Bing.

We believe having full control of our own algorithm is also what makes us potentially better than DDG.

Bias in search engines can mean many things, from manipulation of the results, or preferential display for advertisers or a point of view. It could also include personalised results and we don‘t believe it‘s that much of a disadvantage, because most of the personalisation that occurs is for targeted advertising. Whereas, when you‘re on search engine your results are based on your keywords you type in, to a larger degree than your history. Who knows if other search engines are biased, some people believe so, and whether they are or not, it shows the importance that other choices exist.

Well yes, if they want to pay us for them. And then at least their back end search provider will be privacy focused as well and have similar values.

Mojeek as well as DDG both asure u privacy and considdering how u guys are up against google, ddg offer better search result and privacy. Whereas compared to ddg ur search results are bit off and not that accurate. How do u guys plan to take that on ?

Our main objective right now is to increase the size of our search index (i.e. the number of pages we are searching), which will subsequently improve the results. Hopefully, over the coming months and year this should be very noticable as we plan on doubling the size of our index this year and again next year.

No. It was for feedback and any ideas that may come from that.
