PriEco: New open source web search engine

IMO that would clutter the results too much.

Gamification

Make PriEco fun to use through achievements and rewards.

This seems out of place for a search engine?

This new index doesn’t update so precisely and updates every ~4M inserts


I’d say that’s good enough especially as it may already have crossed 400M

Date is a very asked for feature
I’ve even got here a mockup where date was next to the result data. I am not sure if all they wanted was a filter or something more with it. I personally wouldn’t need it next to the result. Well maybe in this kind of way

Gamification idea is old but I meant something like this


or what Ecosia mainly does

The things there are just ideas, sometimes years old. I wouldn’t be implementing most of them at this moment and appreciate user feedback to know if some of them would be very liked (implement them soon) or very disliked (never implement them)

Regardless, Gamification is the most hated idea. The images got the second most dislikes which I find weird as I want PriEco to have images

Then the large ideas (Deep search, PriEco Premium, Interactive descriptions and Theme store) were more mixed

I personally would only want to filter the results for a specific range and would not really care when this specific result happened. It would make more sense to possibly filter from oldest to newest instead.

Very odd, since this is pretty much a must have :thinking:

Great ideas as most search engines just have a filter for the last year, month…
I can easily make it custom range too

:+1: :+1: :+1:

Thank you for the great ideas! Will do both of them

Yes, here I’m thinking it maybe got dislikes for how it was framed?

PriEco did have images in the past
About them I have the best memory of a user who switched to PriEco from 4Get because of how images looked. They sent me this 4Get:


PriEco:

I’m certainly not in a position to start building own image index. So, they have to come from somewhere. I know that Resulti guy for 3 years, and he offered to help me get the images back to PriEco

I was confused why it said “4Chan” before the edit :laughing:

I agree with that user, since your image layout looks very clean

Notice the improvement in the languages, you’re doing a good job.
I noticed the photo on the information panel on the right, and it looks decent without breaking the visible search data.

The map you have built is useful; however, what I don’t like is the “AI, Sponsored products”, at a minimum. There is a problem here: the like and dislike buttons can be used by bots or illegitimately (abuse) to implement certain features. You’ll have to know how to differentiate between the legitimate and illegitimate ones; unless you choose to integrate measures.
I support donations, it’s better than “premium”.

Keep up the good work on development.

Thank you! Your English here is pretty “choppy” so I’ll try to answer based on how I understood your comment.

Thank you for complimenting the language, information panel and map!

If you’re talking about the roadmap:

It is too soon to be implementing them. PriEco is going to need more predictable source of income. For them I have in mind the Yadore company. They are from Germany. Have a very reasonable privacy policy. AND pay per click, so until you click on their product, they have no information. Not your IP, anything. By their privacy policy they collect truly only the minimum amount of information to have some certainty the paid clicks aren’t bots/spammed

I don’t mean LLMS as the ones Google and others are implementing. By this idea I’d like to let user specify by a longer text what they are searching for. It’s for when you don’t know name, or if the product/thing/location you’re searching for exists. But you can describe what you want to find and PriEco would look for product that matches the closest what you wanted. I came up with this idea when I needed something for PriEco but it was super specific and I didn’t know if it even existed but I could very well describe what I wanted. Normal search engines were awful for this. I found AI search engines: Google (AI mode), Ask Brave… better for it. Their issue was that they buried the results under a lot of text and I wasted a lot of time reading the slop text before I decided it sounded interesting, opened the source and had to fact check it again. I had to do this dozens of times.

I believe something that would well understand what I was looking for and search for it for me like AI search engines can do but show it in a classic list of results for a quick scan through them? I think it could be very useful

Right now I literary just get a Signal message a feature got like/dislike. I am well aware it has no bot/spam protection. But for now it doesn’t need it.

Could I ask you for one? :wink:

Premium would be a way to support PriEco financially + it’s a different kind of web search engine. It has been done before but i’m up for a challenge and am willing to try to make it better than others. But will see, it’s just an old idea

You’re welcome. Thanks for letting me know about the language (English translation). Let’s take a look now, and hopefully this comes across better (improved prompt for the GLM 5.2 AI - max).

  1. I understand the part about sponsored products. The whole clicks issue is a sensitive topic, but wouldn’t it be better to have a visible direct donation button? That would cover a lot of bases. Have you tested out that German company you mentioned?

  2. Wouldn’t it be more viable to make it more direct and in-depth by default, even tailored to the date along with its context?

For example, I’m looking for the actual benefits of lemon on the skin based on facts—not generic claims or industry-manipulated science.

-> The results might be hard to find, but if it works the way it should based on context—staying true and delivering high-quality information on the topic when searched—that’s much better. I know exactly what you mean: cutting out the noise, the generic, the artificial, and all that stuff that isn’t what people are actually looking for.

  1. Sounds good. I did that a while ago (the likes and dislikes).

  2. No. I don’t use cryptocurrency systems (I don’t support them; I just stick to the basics).

  3. Put it to the test. If you’d like, let me know so I can check it out, and I’ll put together a brief report to help you out.

One more thing: I’m on board with adding images.

It is better but wouldn’t a normal translator be even better?

I have them in mind, but especially I wouldn’t be integrating advertisements without consulting it with the community

I do want to add it, I’m just too deep into Index and Ranking work, soon publishing an update in this forum. But certainly want to encourage donations

I am strongly improving the base ranking at this moment. I do want to have solid index first


PriEco did return pretty nice results. But you’re right, after I spent more time on the first one. I realized it was a company selling products. It surely is going to get better overtime. I’m mainly glad how relevant results PriEco is returning.
THIS RESULT CAME UP WITH USA LOCATION AND ENGLISH SET, your experience may vary

I’ll be adding a card payment as a donations option when I’ll be working on the donations page

PriEco Premium is for much later

Almost forgot about it, today I got a big part of the other person’s work. Maybe I’ll add them today

If I use it normally, there’s a good chance of misinterpretations and words being added that I never said. I like to maintain as much control as possible to prevent that from happening as much as I can. In this message, I’ll use Deepl (its AI).

All in one (direct reply): What I mean is, keep moving forward and take your time. Keep me posted on updates so I can stay in the loop.

Keep it up!
