Exhibit A:

Search result #4 is for some therapy for mutliple sclerosis. #6 is about viagra. And it just continues downhill from there.
versus:
https://www.google.com/search?q=compare+mojeek+and+google
All results on the first page are related to the search term.
Hey from Mojeek, the difference is index size here, something we're working on; the algorithm in this case knows that these are not great docs to return but it's a case of pickingt the best of not a great bunch. This is 742,000 results compared to 3,890; building an index takes a while.

That's fair. And I really appreciate that someone from Mojeek responded here on SN.
I'll give it another try setting Mojeek as my default search engine. We do need alternatives to Big Tech and my employing Mojeek for search is how I can show support for this alternative.
