Today’s internet search engines have the power to track our personal data and decide what content can be listed as top results. Users are increasingly concerned that big tech companies have an outsized influence on the information they can view, while gathering enormous amounts of data through browser activity.
A group of American programmers has developed a new search engine intended to provide users with unbiased search results—without tracking the users’ IP, search history, and other information.
They named the search engine “Right Dao”—referring to Daoism and its philosophical pursuit of truth.
Right Dao developers have designed a new crawling and indexing method: The former referring to the process of scouring the internet for content, while the latter involves the storing and organizing of content found during crawling.
These newly developed techniques allow Right Dao to perform searches in an independent and uncensored manner, without relying on outside tools.
“We are a fully independent search engine. We have the infrastructure and built the technology from the ground up,” said Steve Smith, a developer at Right Dao. “[We] show the search results, free of manipulation.”

After DuckDuckGo was revealed to be selling back to Google - I’ve been cautious on my searches.
Sounds good but needs a different name.

Ping.
Agreed. After the ugly image of Swalwell-Fartboy with the Chinese Honeypot and all the other China no-good, don’t want to be a sucker to something obvious.
Does anyone know how to add it/make default in Firefox search?
Yeah I take issue with description of taoism is the best one anyone. I always took it as more of a pursuit of harmony, or a blurring of the lines of division between entities or identities. The ‘pursuit of truth’ is more of a generic description of philosophy.
Conceptually, a search engine is simple. Crawl the internet and catalogue the content.
Logistically, it’s a massive enterprise, and to be effective you need to focus on search result contextual relevance. In that way, I suppose a ‘pursuit of truth’ is fitting. But this is where the algorithms come into play. You need a way to efficiently index exabytes of data so that you can quickly point the way to the most relevant out of all of it. This is where the subjective nature of the algorithm’s authoring comes into play, not to mention intentionally subjective filtering.

I think Duck Duck Go actually uses Google, they just don’t track you like Google does. So, if Google doesn’t index the site, then it does not show up on Duck Duck Go.
I’ll try this one.
DuckDuckGo proved that suckers are born everyday.....
Thank You!
Few test queries definitely seems like they have some work to do.. but happy to give them a shot
Try ‘White Inventors’ and see what comes up....
Biggest suckers are those who continue to use, Google, Facebook, Twitter etc.
They make money off you, sell your date without permission and use their vast wealth to destroy conservatives and push far left agendas.
What?! Are you kidding? Just dammit.
Thanks for the ping AAC!
I have long asserted such within FR, but yeah, for most, to no avail. May they reap what they have helped sow.
First I’ve heard this assertion. Have you a link? Thanks.
