Reflections and Thoughts of Brian

For the last few months, I've been working on Fynd, a search engine that is solving the issue of bias and algorithmic bubbles found in current mainstream search engines.
It's been amazing how everything has just fallen together and doesn't feel forced. I've found that Fynd does not need hundreds or thousands of ranking factors. In fact, Fynd does not use ranking factors at all in its code.
Fynd has 9 million pages currently indexed, and the results are outstanding. It provides a broad view of the internet instead of a small subset.
Site owners should like Fynd because it does not try to be an answer engine and steal their content and traffic; it just returns results based on the closest matching web page, more like a classic search engine.
I plan to make fynd available to the public in an experimental state when it reaches 15-20 million pages indexed. It currently indexes about 140,000 pages a day.
