Small Web Search Engines

Many of us in this movement are over Google. Google has a lot of privacy invasive practices and monopolizes off of private user data. And truth be told, most of our sites in the Web Revival movement are probably deeply buried in Google’s algorithms anyways. Below you’ll find independent search engines designed to help you discover others in the Web Revival movement.

Wiby
The Wiby search engine is building a web of pages as it was in the earlier days of the internet. In addition, Wiby helps vintage computers to continue browsing the web, as pages indexed are more suitable for their performance.
Marginalia
Marginalia is a niche search tool focused on non-commercial content, and attempts to show you sites you perhaps weren’t aware of in favor of the sort of sites you probably already knew existed. Marginalia also features a neat website explorer where you can randomly discover other websites that are part of the Small Web.
Search My Site
Search My Site is a niche search, focusing on the “indie web” or “small web” or “digital gardens“, i.e. non-commercial content, primarily personal and independent websites.

Webrings

A webring is a chain of websites connected to each other that loop together. As you navigate between the websites of a webring, eventually you will get to the end of the chain and end up right back where you started. Webrings are a great way to discover other folks who are part of the Web Revival movement, as well as gain traffic to your own website.

For an up-to-date list of webrings, check out Brisray’s Webring List here.

Directories

Many webrings have their own members directory, but not every directory has a webring. Standalone website directories are another great way to discover cool websites, gain traffic to your website, and easily find people in the Web Revival movement with similar interests.
