Looking for some signal boost for this fedvers expansion project http://hamishcampbell.com/index.php/2020/03/11/opening-up-openweb-search
@witchescauldron I'm not sure exactly what's being proposed here. Can you explain the vision in a bit more detail?
@strypey the search is pretty stratfoward #4opens approach to replace Google gatekeeping in search with #openweb projects supplementing then replacing the #dotcons in this. Up to the #fashernistas if this is then pushed mainstream. Still worth doing if this dose not happen.
The #OMN side is currently focused on #indymedia reboot and #resistanceexabition public archiving. Its a wider project, but build it out practical and focused #KISS
@witchescauldron
> replace Google gatekeeping in search with #openweb projects
OK, that's a good general goal, but what specific approaches are you proposing for achieving it?
@witchescauldron
> #openweb apps search plugins for searchx project
Something like this?

@strypey clearly not this, though nice project. Nothing new is a first good step for #4opens projects that plug into working networks. In the search am ONLY talking about scripting https://github.com/asciimoo/searx/wiki/possible-search-engines a #mastodon and #peertube for searx would be a start and adding these to there github. We would test them and roll them out here http://openworlds.info
Focues is a good way of challanging the #geekproblem and #KISS is a good way forward.
@witchescauldron Scripting plugins for #Searx would be something new. If Searx could include #hash2pub relays in their meta-search sources, that would allow Searx instances to search the entire #fediverse, not just Mastodon and PT.
