A focused research exercise
Repeat another engine’s query, compare URLs and open relevant new documents. For each fact, identify the issuer and check whether it is an original observation or a repetition.
Search engine
Mojeek
Search engine with its own crawler and index, designed without individual search tracking.
Service publisher : Mojeek
What the documentation explains
Mojeek describes its own crawler, index and ranking. This route may reveal other documents; index independence does not turn retrieved pages into primary sources.

Documentation consultation :
Readable reference
This consultation covers public documentation, not a service trial with an account. Features, modes and access conditions evolve; check those displayed when you conduct your research.
The decisive check
Check important pages in this independent index before inferring presence from Google or Bing.
Observe and distinguish the results
- Write the exact query and record language, region, filters, date and settings affecting results.
- Separate organic links, ads, maps and summaries. Open the final URL and identify its author, date and supporting data.
- Compare another discovery route, then return to the primary document. Absence from one query does not necessarily mean absence from the index.
What to retain
- Exact query or prompt; date, time and time zone.
- Service, mode, model or bot if indicated; language, region and settings.
- Final source URL; title, author, date and relevant passage.
- Claim checked; supporting evidence, contradiction or lack of evidence.
- Accessible scope and files; conditions needed to repeat the observation.
Method questions
Are two agreeing services two pieces of evidence?
Not when they trace back to the same document or reuse the same data. Count independent issuers and evidence, and retain the provenance chain.
Does a citation validate a fact?
The inspected passage must support the precise claim with the correct object, date and scope. A related page or topic mention is insufficient.
How can platforms be compared fairly?
Use the same question, recorded settings and several dated observations. Assess discovery, accuracy, provenance and usefulness separately; one example cannot rank a service.
