Mojeek Reaches 6 Billion
Dear Mojeek Community,
If you've been following us for even a short while now (we've had a fair few recent milestones) you'll know that we like to celebrate crossing a big number of pages indexed.
This is not just because a bigger index means a more comprehensive sweep of the open web, allowing you to find more weird and wonderful websites. It is also because this index growth has been done in a deliberately sustainable way.
Founded in 2004, then as a company in 2009, Mojeek is still around. The first search engine to ever publicly state its pro-privacy position is still here, and we're growing bigger by the day.

How We Solved Our SSD Problem
The Crucial 2.5” Solid State Drives that we were aiming to add into the stack are a fraction of the height, width, and depth of a Western Digital Gold, a drive which fits perfectly into both of the types of Hot Swap Tray that we use in our servers. In order to have the option of using the smaller SSDs, we needed to find a creative way of fitting them so that they stayed in place. Read more...
