We think the quality of their crawled pages (both web and news) is not as good as ours. Our total dataset is larger than their monthly numbers.

By the way, thanks for your feedback. We have fixed a bug and now news stories are shown on the page.

From Wikipedia: Dao is a Chinese word signifying the "way", "path", "route", "road"... In most belief systems, the word is used symbolically in its sense of 'way' as the 'right' or 'proper' way of existence...

Our results are different from other search engines. Wikipedia has regular database dumps (https://dumps.wikimedia.org/), which is a relatively low cost to index. Overall, our scale is currently small and the cost is manageable.

Currently our scale is small and the cost is manageable. Please send your site to the email address in the about us page. (We don't have incremental indexing yet, so we have to replace the entire index with newer results once a while.)

We don't have incremental indexing yet, so we have to replace the entire index with newer results once a while. Incremental index is on our roadmap.
However, our news search is updated every hour, and Salesforce Hyperforce has new results.

No, we use Kubernetes, grpc and protobuf as base, Prometheus and Grafana for monitoring. Our systems are mostly in C++, with some in Go such as crawler. No open source tool is used for indexing and search.

We have our own crawler and indexing.

Currently our scale is small and the cost is manageable. We are not funded by venture capitals or governments.

Today, Google accounted for 92% of all Internet searches. Google and Bing together occupy 96% of the search market. Most other search engines, including the popular privacy focused ones, simply get the search results from Google or Bing and reorder them, because developing a search engine is neither easy nor cost effective. Consequently, the few big tech companies control what people see.
Right Dao is different. We are a fully independent search engine, and we have the infrastructure and build the technology from the ground up. That enable us to show the search results free from search engine monopoly's manipulations.
We invite you to have a try, while we are constantly improving the quality and adding more features.
FAQ: open source?
We think search engine's code is a bit sensitive in general. The engine depends on many subsystems, including storage, scheduling, indexing, etc. If the ranking code is seen by the spammers, they could push their spam websites. We are not sure if there's a viable way to open source a search engine.
