  1. Weirdly, for my domain, Bing actually indexes it far better than Google does – which means even DuckDuckGo users will get better results than Google users (where usually people would think the opposite). ‍

    It was refreshing to see Qwant and Ecosia – two EU-based search engines – will be teaming up to make their own search index. I sure hope they don’t disappoint on that front; it’ll be great to have a fourth large scale index floating around other than Google, Bing and Mojeek (does Brave count as having it’s own index yet or is it largely still pulling from other APIs?)

  2. Hi Coxy, that is really interesting, as I had been running tests for a bunch of domains (really the first that came to mind) for a couple of years, and Bing had been doing terribly. However, on a few domains in the last test in June 2024, Bing did indeed do better than Google. What surprised me regularly was how badly it did on microsoft.com!

    That is indeed good news that Qwant and Ecosia will build their own index. I believe Brave’s does count, though at one point their site: searches were from Bing. I believe that’s stopped. Yep might have its own as well. Seirdy has kept track of them all—he regularly updates his 2021 blog post to reflect any changes.
