>> Rediscover the web that Google "disappeared."

> As it happens we were toying with taglines today and minded to go with these:

I very much like the "rediscover" part. The web has indeed lost it's charm when the results only show Facebook, Twitter and 10 or so other huge sites.

As for tagline, I'd suggest something along the lines of "Rediscover the web and escape your filter bubble!".

Wish you all the best and happy coding!

P.S. I'd be very curious to get insight into if you have considered open sourcing the search engine? This would tie into transparency and trust, and would also enable contributions! I'd love to contribute to my day-to-day search engine, especially if it is privacy respecting!

Also, I second a subscription model for sustainability. I do not want to be the product.

Kind regards, Robin

Cheers, we like "escape your filter bubble". We used it in this series of posts on setting up multiple search engines: https://blog.mojeek.com/2020/12/popping-filter-bubbles-in-fi...

Open sourcing merits a whole post of it's own; it's a topic we will be writing on in the future and a bit about in our next FAQs post.
