PriEco: New open source web search engine
Privacy Guides Community [Unofficial]

Hi, I’m from EU and when you wrote it, it was deep night. Otherwise, I’d have replied sooner
- I’m the founder and pretty much the only contributor. I do get a lot of help from the community. Programming isn’t the problem for me, it’s figuring out what people want and getting new ideas for PriEco. I can do it a lot too, but it’s always nice to get outside perspectives. A good idea is much more important for me than code contribution
- I do accept donations. The single biggest donor donated $480 to PriEco. For now it’s only in source code repository and only in crypto. I’ll make it better. Running PriEco is super cheap and I do have a personal interest in it. But I am very user focused and wouldn’t enshitify it
- Yes, I try to be as transparent as possible
Languages this is my fault, I chose to not filter by language but to only boost results in preferred language. This was a mistake and I will soon be fixing
Panel General is a setting category title. Language priorities results in selected language, location too. As I said I chose incorrectly and it needs fixing to work much better. If you want I can notify you when it’s fixed
Info thanks, will add there explanation under each setting
Freely ask me more
