Tentaclii<\/em> is back at No.1 on Google<\/strong>… <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Though is still not indexed on Bing<\/strong> or DuckDuckGo<\/strong>, apart from (bizarrely) just two random PDFs. It’s been that way for years. As it’s no longer possible to submit a blog to Bing, I don’t see any way of changing it.<\/p>\n

Tentaclii<\/em> is present on the first page of results at Yandex<\/strong>. Yandex is a pretty reasonable search-engine and supplies DuckDuckGo. The Duck being a blend of Bing and Yandex, as you can see here…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

… but a lot gets censored from Yandex before it gets fed to the Duck. Tentaclii<\/em> is presumably one of the elements being filtered out, which suggests it’s flagged as ‘undesirable’ in some way. It may be being bounced partly because Bing doesn’t index it?<\/p>\n

Tentaclii<\/em> is the top result on the worthy but eclectic Gigablast<\/strong>, which is the only other one that vaguely matters. Mojeek<\/strong> being worthy as a standalone indie that keeps soldiering on, but now very<\/em> old and with very<\/em> poor relevance ranking. Common Crawl<\/strong> still has no third-party keyword search interface, except for an incredibly old crawl. Yippy<\/strong> is a filtered Bing, and while excellent (if rather slow) for techie forum searches like researching a regex formula, it doesn’t seem to be much use for anything else I want.<\/p>\n

I don’t know of any engine that dogpiles together the full main Google, with Bing and Yandex, and also has good relevance ranking and de-duplication. According to the above chart (2019) it doesn’t exist. But if anyone knows of one, or a browser addon or dashboard that does the same without captchas, I’d welcome hearing about it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
