    I see a lot of recommendations for kagi, but no mention of brave search - specifically the (beta) feature called “goggles”. Afaiu it’s a blend of kagi’s “lenses” and the site ranking in search results.

    https://search.brave.com/help/goggles There is a list (search) of public goggles: https://search.brave.com/goggles

    The goggles itself are just text files with basic syntax and can be hosted on e.g. github gist. (though you have to publish it to brave)

    https://github.com/brave/goggles-quickstart/blob/main/goggle...

    Tbh, I can’t really compare brave search to kagi, since I never used kagi (though I’m using Orion - webkit based browser from the same dev and love it). Afaik, brave search is using its own index, thus making the results somehow limited and inferior to kagis. Just wanted to throw some (free) alternative here that works for me. :)

    * Note that Brave search, despite privacy oriented, is still ad funded and there was few controversies about brave’s (browser) privacy in the past. (if that’s relevant for you)

  • How to block websites from search results in Brave Search?

    You are technically in control of it even if it is in Brave's servers, so, you can create, modify it and delete it. https://github.com/brave/goggles-quickstart
  • Reputable UL-focused backpacking blogs and resources?
    1 project | /r/Ultralight | 21 Mar 2023
    I'm putting together a list of UL resources to ultimately become indexed and searchable (through Goggles). This index will be public and something that will hopefully be community maintained, but I'll just be getting it started for now.

    If you talk about search results, well, Brave Search has goggles, you only need a github account and you can create your own list, so you can only get what you want.

    "Goggles are simple, self-contained text files which can be hosted in Github or Gitlab. These files contain instructions allowing you to tell Brave Search how you'd like your results to be ranked. You can target specific URL patterns (and, soon, website titles and other aspects of Web pages) and indicate how their ranking should be altered (e.g. boosted, downranked, or completely discarded from the results)." - https://github.com/brave/goggles-quickstart

    Great to see a company protecting and empowering its users. I just tried it out myself. Very easy to implement (e.g., "Amazon-Excluded Search"). Thanks for sharing!

    If you haven't heard of [Brave Goggles](https://github.com/brave/goggles-quickstart) I highly recommend checking it out. Just being able to create the search index is a massive task, so being able to apply rules server-side to their "expanded recall set" will give you what most people building search engines want, which is to control the algorithm. We weren't able to do that until now since applying rules client-side doesn't work well on a small search result set.

    And most important of all, anyone can create, apply and share their own rules (https://github.com/brave/goggles-quickstart). This means you can effectively implement your own web result ranking. For example you can give priority to websites you consider more trustworthy and remove the ones that have low-quality clickbait.
