@skyjake @Acidus Kennedy is very impressive, I'm bookmarking this. Thank you for the recommendation.

Kennedy has by far the most features and therefore is able to provide the best search results. If the number of results are too many, filters can realiably weed out unwanted results.

Other search engines have only a subset of the features of Kennedy and don't lead to the same reliable results.

The only problem with Kennedy is that it crawls only manually and the last crawl has been on 2023-07-23.

I created a page with meta information about different search engines and crawlers, which are not always available on the respective search engine's pages:

It's always fun to play with different approaches to indexing and surfacing data. Honestly the "just play" elements of it are one of the main things I love about Gemini.

I built Kennedy for myself as a fun project, and I've just keep adding features for things I'm interested in. That's how the Delorean Time machine (like Archive.org, but for Gemini) came to be as well. Recently my interest has been around trying to surface non-text content more effectively. It's also lead me to some cool content that I wouldn't have found other wise.

I'm so pleased with all the positive feedback on Kennedy! Comments like that make my day ❤️ I'll keep working to make it better for everyone.

Which search service do you recommend in Gemini space? — I’m currently using [gemini link] as my default in Lagrange. At the moment - and this could just be the nature of the contents of Gemini space currently - I get a lot of results for a library flooding my results. The results contain the terms I searched for, but that domain won’t have what I want. What are the alternatives and is there much difference anyway? Please let me know your preference.
