I Made a Privacy Focused Search Engine - Early Access

I've been working on a search engine project called Slick for over a year now, and I finally have an early access version ready to share.

Slick is a search engine built for speed, privacy, and user control. We never track search queries, location, or user behavior. Since we use our own index and ranking, no tracking slips through proxies.

Heres what Slick has to offer:

• No ads yet. Ads will be added later, but only in ways that do not get in the way of searching.

• Fast results. The engine is optimized for speed.

• Bang commands. Jump straight to certain sites. More will be added based on feedback.

• Knowledge cards. Quick facts, images, and links from Wikipedia.

• Forums and arXiv. Trusted sources for research and personal experience.

• Personalized ranking. Upvote, downvote, block, or pin domains to customize results.

• Custom filters. Pre-built filters for Academic, Entertainment, Shopping, Social, or make your own.

Since this is early access, the index is small, only about 5 million documents total, and only 200 thousand web. Which means that some, if not the majority of queries might return incomplete or inaccurate results. We also cannot guarantee 24/7 uptime or consistently fast speeds yet. The index is currently still growing, on track to hit 20 million documents by the end of this month.

I would love your feedback on anything you like, dislike, or want improved. If you have any questions, feel free to ask!

Thanks for checking it out. With your help, Slick can become a search engine that puts users first, not ads.
