Web indexing: where is Qwant's independence?

Qwant 🇫🇷, the French search engine, is probably the biggest European engine that exists today.

But we often hear that Qwant is actually Microsoft Bing in disguise. How much of this is true?

They have their own crawling tools and algorithms, but they can use Bing's results as a supplement when people search for images or things where Qwant isn't strong enough yet.

They explain it here:

#qwant #SearchEngine #europeanalternative


Nach bald einem Jahr mit #Qwant als Suchmaschine kann ich sagen: Taugt für 75% aller Fälle. Für den Rest findet Google die besseren Ergebnisse, auch wegen der ungeliebten Personalisierung. Gerade bei Spezialwissen, das man in Stack Exchange, Reddit und co. findet, ist Google die bessere Wahl.


Some people asked about the deadlines of the project, and Qwant blog gives some ideas about it.

Quotes:

"Ecosia and Qwant reveal a new joint venture, European Search Perspective (EUSP), to develop and build search engine infrastructure in Europe.

Starting in 2025, the venture will aim to serve improved search engine results in both the French and German language, based on Qwant technologies that have been totally redesigned since 2023.

The firm has plans to start serving Qwant and Ecosia’s France-based search engine traffic by the Q1 in 2025, and Germany by the end of the year."

Recently I've been looking at European search engines. #Qwant and #StartPage seem to be the most popular, the latter having stricter privacy policy.

Which privacy focused engine are you using and why?

Stepping away from big tech #usa is possible with #european solutions that are in line with the #eu #dsgvo. Search engine: #qwant www.qwant.com?l=de Mail, Calendar, Adressbook: mailbox.org from #germany I am moving away from #google and #apple (part-time) step by step for an all-European solution

Unabhängig von #Google und #Bing: #Ecosia und #Qwant kooperieren
Wir HABEN 2025 😉
Das ist mal eine Information, die etwas Hoffnung macht auf Souveränität in der #EU Aber ich hoffe, dass dann auch im Hintergrund keine Infrastruktur läuft, von der man sich dann wieder abhängig macht, wie z.B. #AWS usw.

Today HN had a submission on #Qwant and #Ecosia teaming up: news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4…

Btw, from the top comment:

> I'd be very careful with Qwant. They have taken major investment from Axel Springer (Bild, Die Welt) and the day will come when the publisher wants something back for its investment.



Ecosia is teaming up with Qwant to build a European search index

#Ecosia und #Qwant kooperieren und bieten eine europäische Alternative zu Google, Bing & co. Inklusive Search-Indexer

#unplugtrump



Testing ecosia as google alternative.
ecosia.org/

It's an German product, at the moment not USA-free, but with an interesting business model.

Promoting various projects like planting trees, Vivaldi-browser, Qwant European search...

Will "(e)cosi it" be the new "google it"?

I'll give it a try.

After some reading and thoughts, I have refreshed my ~15 years old browser + search engine setup. And the winners are @Vivaldi and Ecosia (and a note on @Qwant).

As a Netscape/Mozilla user, I can't remember when I became a Firefox user but really early on. All this time it has been my browser for everything (first) and then for personal use (see below). I have collected stickers, I have met Mozilla Foundation staff, and I even applied a long time ago. +

The European search engines (and competitors) Ecosia 🇩🇪 and Qwant 🇫🇷 are joining forces to build their own European search index!

And the best part? It'll be open and available to all of us!

This is great news for other small search engines, start-ups and the AI industry, as they'll now have the chance to use this index instead of the ones offered by Microsoft and Google.

Dopo aver provato per alcuni mesi (con soddisfazione) @brave Search, sono passato da alcuni giorni a @Qwant

Alla fine del test deciderò quale dei due motori sarà all'altezza di sostituire #Google.

Per ora quasi tutte le ricerche fatte con #Brave non hanno avuto la necessità di una seconda ricerca su Google.
Vediamo se #Qwant sarà all'altezza.


US-Unternehmen meiden – Warum jetzt?
In den #USA boykottieren viele Menschen große Konzerne wegen ihrer politischen Verflechtungen. Wer das auch hier tun will:

US-Firmen: #Amazon, #Microsoft, #Apple, #Google, #Intel, #AMD, #Dell, #HP, #Disney, #Facebook, #Instagram, #Netflix, #Twitter, #Tesla, #Adobe, #eBay, #Snapchat, #Airbnb, #Fitbit, #Activision, #Uber, #Garmin, #Bose.

Alternativen: #Nextcloud, #Fairphone, #Qwant, #DuckDuckGo. #boykott


A voi funziona #Qwant? A me da smartphone apre la Home, ma se faccio una ricerca mi dice "Sei stato bloccato"


#UnplugTrump : Wer nutzt die Suchmaschine #Qwant ?

qwant.com

War eine Empfehlung von K1.

Erste Ergebnisse sehen vielversprechend aus.


absolutely, there are alternatives such as #mistral for #GenAI and #qwant or #ecosia for #onlinesearches


Reading @pluralistic 's article "With great power came no responsibility":

"And that's how we get to the enshittified Google of today, where every query serves back a blob of AI slop, over five paid results tagged with the word AD in 8-point, 10% grey on white type, which is, in turn, over ten spammy links from SEO shovelware sites filled with more AI slop."

I've switched to #Qwant and it's a breath of fresh air. No more AI slop for me, and it makes such a difference! #SearchEngine


Using #qwant search engine on Firefox, there is no need to 'fucking' swear at google because there is no mention of AI because 'fucking' google is not involved, the only results I get are


To add Qwant to the search engines in Firefox:

1️⃣ open qwant.com/
2️⃣ right click in the address bar
3️⃣ at the bottom, select "Add Qwant"

and it's available

Es gibt eine Menge sehr gut funktionierender europäischer Software, die den US amerikanischen Anwendungen in nichts nachsteht. Es bedarf vielleicht die eine oder andere kleine Umstellung. Aber das ist nach 3-4 Suchen vergessen.

Seit gestern nutze ich #Qwant, statt Duckduckgo, als meine Standardsuchmaschine. Ich bin sehr zufrieden.

Olivier Sichel, ce sale menteur avait quel rôle chez Wanadoo France Telecom pendant que des gens se suicidaient en se défenestrant ?

fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Affaire_…

C'est à lui que l'on confie les ~3.500 milliards de fonds que gère la CDC au nom des français (livret A, retraites, etc.).

THIS. IS. FINE.


#DeGoogle use #firefox #brave #vivaldi No #google search use #qwant #duckduckgo #ixquick The best way to beat #usa #oligarchs is to quit there platforms. As they are driven by ad’s they lose there money. #x #twitter #faceboo #google


it also works with #qwant...

> With all this fake privacy all using bing ? 🤔


On one hand it was good to hear #Qwant and #Ecosia are teaming up to build their own index...

...but disappointing they were primarily doing it for their AI products as opposed to doubling down on their traditional search experiences.


alors je sais bien que c'était pas la pomme la moins pourrie de l'arbre dès le départ mais j'avais espéré du coté de #Qwant, mais en plus de ne pas faire d'effort pour ne plus dépendre de Bing, ils ont ajouté de l'ia et enlevé les opérateurs de recherche qu'ils étaient bien pratique... :/
J'ai tenté Stract qui a une licence AGPL, et j'y retourne de temps en temps pour voir, c'est pas au point pour du grand public mais s't'une base, même si j'aimerais savoir d'où qu'ils viennent...
