Thank you. I had zero idea that Presearch existed and I am tremendously excited about this for the same reason you have highlighted with the following sentiment...
"**but am in the process of re-evaluating the current state of affairs and slowly adjusting my own behaviours to support the future I like to live in"
**
I am weaning myself off social media, having deactivated my Twitter account after 11 years of activity, I am waiting for my Facebook archived data and will delete that account. I am weaning myself off Google slowly but surely but that is a longer exercise. Big tech are telling us what to think, who to listen to and basically selling a narrative which is disruptive and causing a lot of racial and idealism tension which is harming many lives ABSOLUTELY UNNECCESSARY
You are also on your way. It's a process and some of the steps are not easy to make. FB and Twitter I still use, both for their own reasons. But I wish I could leave these platforms whilst still maintaining the same information streams (content) I get from these platforms. One is about music events (FB), and the other is about crypto (Twitter). Google I still use some emails addresses and free storage. I can relative easily replace them, and soon I will. Google search, I rarely need, most of the time Presearch is good enough.
You ever used our own HIVE search engine? I use it quite regularly. hivesearcher.com its called today. Earlier today, I discovered an old post I wrote about this searcher, I completely forgot about. That posts gives a few tips and commands hivesearcher is supporting. Very useful engine. I use the Recent and Most Relevant tabs in the search results mostly (post)
The cool thing is: When going to their landing page, you can select the search engine to use for the search. I use a plugin in Brave and Chrome (Google, I know, but need 5 browsers to handle all crypto and other stuff) and the address bare to put in my searches, in this scenario Presearch uses its default engine (is customisable).
Let me know what you think... Or write a post with your thoughts :)

We shall promote the concept of search. The content we create shall not be lost. Our community will become stronger when we start linking other posts in our own articles.
This ⬆️
One day my husband tried to explain me why the search is more complicated in blockchain. I can't say that I completely understood 😂
I agree that the content content should not be lost. It is not, but it needs lot more time to find something. And to know how to use that hivesearcher... :)
No comments from me still on topic presearch, sorry. The beautiful sunny day is waiting for us outside🌞🌞
Search on a blcokchain is nothing more complicated then search in a Google database. The only thing is, we need a good search engine. Hivesearcher is quite a decent search engine, though its a little harder to find all the commands the search engine supports. I used to have a link somewhere, but can't find it. Also, none of the blogging UIs integrated search, while they can integrate Hivesearcher. Its free to use, and has a well defined API, therefore almost no work is required by the blogging UI owners to integrate search. But I think, it was PeakD mentioning, search is not a top priority since users don't ask for it. Sure, many users dont use search, since it is not in their face. Not having search function in the UIs basically means, whatever we create and publish is 'lost' forever. Most of use seem to be ok with that. But I suppose, most of use are here for the money anyway while post older than 7 days can;'t be voted for anymore, so why the need for search? All shortsided views by those who think like that... At least that is my opinion {LOL}
Yeah, the sunny day passed, we went to the mountains that afternoon, it was great..NJOYed, as you would say...but then another sunny day passed, and another, and another..So Wednesday evening, probably until I press the reply button it will be Thursday.
Anyway, I looked into presearch, it is nice, but didnt register at the moment or started to use it for ¨real¨ .
I don't remember where was your other comment I wanted to reply, sorry I will reply here :) It was about hivesearcher and why I needed it.. I think I have found a new hive victim and a song already :D
BTW, Hivesearcher, to help you a little further with the commands that can be used. I noticed I've written a post about this back in the days when hivesearcher was called esteem search. Completely forgot about that one. Is was as difficult to find what commands are implemented at hivesearcher back then as it is now. Probably a reason for the post. Check this one here. Check also this post by the Ecency team (the devs of hivesearcher) here. This link you'll find at the bottom of my post as well.
I really enjoy brave. I also use presearch. It's a great Idea but I've had problems with lag on searches. The results are sometimes unique compared to google and can be surprising. Sometimes I am directed to links that are too old. I really want to see presearch ahead of G and with developments in their search engine it will happen.
Regarding the lag of Presearch, had similar issues with that before, but as pf recent, the speed went up and am pretty ok with the speed. The search results are not always great, but its easy to try Google or other seach engines when starting from Presearch landing page. Thanks for you feedback!
Right. Thanks for introducing me to presearch. I like that google is not collecting information from my search and if I run into lag or strange results I do jump to google or another search engine and still collect the presearch token. Cool stuff^^
Hi @edje...Excellent article, you describe information of interest to me, since a few days ago I started to use presearch.. I just knew that you were paid token for each search performed, but thanks to your article I realize that it is a whole world, I will take the time to investigate more on the subject and enjoy the benefits it provides.

Great, I will try and discipline myself to shy away from 'the easy way out' Google. Will read your post and test drive Presearch
