Lexy's main goal is to provide fast answers with references, the accuracy come from search results as it is focused on that memory (we are improving it day-by-day). The focus is particularly on the user query by enhancing it with proper dorking by understanding his intent.
Of course the main rule is 'NO ADS'.
We are wrapping different search engines, Lexy don't want to compete them, just provide a better experience (clear, simple and referenced).
What index does this search engine use?
Social search finds discussions and people around communities, the credit usage was removed from here and made it free.
The results are coming mostly from Google and Brave search, we are planning to wrap also other search engines (considering still which ones).
i tried one of the example search prompts it gave me "let's discover academic papers" because i figured those prompts would be chosen to display whatever makes this search engine interesting. and i just got a bunch of useless SEO chum links like this: https://paperpile.com/g/academic-search-engines/ exactly like i would expect from any search engine for such a vague query. there's a "quick summary" button at the top, but it doesn't do anything.
why would i use this instead of google?
Lexy has improved a lot since your comment (and it still does), you are right, the first beta skd.
Check it now :)
also; -Brave -Bing
I am from Rome but I don't think we have different informations in querying ahah
better to tell more details, just saying it is new, seem not a good way to prompt it. people may feel, you bring up expectation for nothing, haha...
Shortly will come up with more informations about Lexy's foundation.
putting up a search engine without providing even a hint of info about who is behind it... ..does not inspire trust
* 1U vax
* 1U amiga
* vax 5g netbsd
The first tells me whether commercial interests are prioritized over other results. The second tells me whether titles and keywords are prioritized over content. The third, well, one can guess, tests whether the overwhelming number of results about "vax" and/or "5g" means the search engine doesn't even take "netbsd" in to account.
For reference, I have what I think is the only 1U VAX in the world (VAXstation 4000/30 in a 1U case) and I have a 1U Amiga, but it's not the only one. For the last result, I posted on Twitter (before it turned evil) about a VAXstation 4000/90a connecting to the Internet using a 5G hotspot over USB.
So lexy.uno did very well for the first search, did moderately OK for the second, and didn't fail spectacularly for the third. Considering how much other search engines suck, this is quite good!
