Actually other search engines do much better with Lemmy. Kagi’s search works wonders if you select the filter for Fediverse Forums. And you can assign that filter to a bang, such as !lemmy, so that when you search “!lemmy query here” it’ll search only on the fediverse A few examples:
Interesting. I just signed up for their “trial” version and punched my keywords in – “geophysical equipment rentals canada” and my region to Canada – my company came up first, followed by our primary Canadian competitor. It wasn’t until item number 8 that the SEO crap pages started showing up. Very nice. Now I just need to figure out how to make this a business expense ;)
Their search results constantly impress me and honestly it’s 10 bucks for unlimited searches, it’s worth it even if it’s not a business expense, plus since you’re paying for the service they’re less likely to track you. I wish their code was FOSS, but I’ll take it, still better than google, bing, and all the others I’ve tried.
Also they actively promote the small web and you can even personalize your search results by removing websites you don’t like from the searches (for example I have a lot of big tech websites blocked)
