A search engine that's optimized for surfing/discovery rather than finding specific information. Focuses on simple, non-commercial, hobbyist sites reminicent of the "old web" without much CSS/JS.

seirdy.one A look at search engines with their own indexes
A cursory review of all the non-metasearch, indexing search engines I have been able to find.
Most “alternative” search engines to the big three (Google, Bing, Yandex aka GBY) just proxy their results from GBY. I took a look at 30 non-meta search engines with their own crawlers/indexers to find actual alternatives.
Feedback + additions welcome.
