A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

The problem with that is, that not all instances use "Lemmy" or even "feddit" in the URL.
What do you mean? Who would register at such a place.
Hopefully search engines can eventually work around that.
Sparks an idea, I briefly remember google or some search engine letting you search for forums, a browser extension which did this for a few different larger forums and then aggregated the results could yield a similar result.
I think the one you're looking for is kagi.com!
Nice to see Kagi get mentioned!
I've been using Kagi for about a month now, and I love the quality of results you get. I'd say it's still a niche product for people who need to do a lot of searches but can't be bothered to dig through commercialized ad-driven SEO'd crap. I haven't used the personalization features like lenses much, although it's useful for finding PDFs and answers to programming questions.
What do you think about Kagi?
Never heard of it, just went to have a look and they had a "give it a try" button with a "best headphones" example. Note the very first result. Given the context of this thread, pretty funny 😅
I really like kagi and use the Orion browser. But after trialing a month’s subscription, I just couldn’t justify the additional cost. Their lowest tier just doesn’t have enough search’s for my monthly usage. It does put into perspective how many pointless searches one can do when searches are ‘free’. Each time one conducts a search, you are spinning up a machine somewhere in the world, multiply that by X and all that wasted resource becomes clear.
I think Brave search goggles can do exactly that
