And have it sort by ping values?

Every search engine is bollocks and only favours major sites as top hits.

I want to favour companies nearby that host their own shit.

Or is there a yellow pages of the internet that you can look through by what they sell?

I'm sure if anyone compiles something effective enough, Alphabet will just step and and tell them to fuck right off...

I keep meaning to get it done but I have too much on my plate. I'll launch one eventually.

Do you know specifically what is keeping you from it?
How worthwhile is pursuing something like this on your end? I'd hate to see you stretched too thin.

You two do great work here and I'd hate to see it be diminished. Still, I don't necessarily know enough about you to ponder whether or not you're capable. Just curious, that's all.

Yeah time, I'd have done it already if I had more time. I think it would be worth while because then I would have one to use that I know isn't selling my data. I would also make it available to anyone else who wanted to use it but I want to do it primarily because I don't know of one that isn't selling data in one respect or another. I've seen many claim they are not but every time I dig into it, oh look they are anyway.

I could do it no problem I started on it years ago and had something functional but then I had kids and that kind of put a damper on side projects then I learned how to manage my time better and then used my spare time on video games which was stupid. Then I quite them and started poal. Right now I'm in a bit of a situation that has me working 7 days a week so until I can get past that and get to the point where I can work less finish a few things I want to get done for poal. My next project is a real poal search engine I tried using a searx instance but I'm not super happy with it. I think I can do it better.
