I just tried Kagi and was surprised that my open source project shows up in the results for relevant keywords. All the other search engines I tried bury it completely out of view no matter how specific the keywords are. It makes me wonder how many other indie projects like mine are excluded from mainstream search engine results.

See if the founder’s side project Teclis [0] (non-commercial search) finds it. Kagi uses the project’s index in addition to Google and Bing.

Yes, it finds it. It ranks quite well for most keywords I tried. It even got #1 spot for one of the keywords I tried. I also noticed some other related open source projects show up (by other people) which I hadn't heard about for several years.

Google search only shows paid SaaS platforms in the first page of results.
