A search page for questions where the source matters. One query goes from your browser to up to 23 public libraries of human-written material. Results are ranked with a formula printed on the page and quoted word for word.
Telisik (Indonesian for "to look into closely") is a search page for questions where the source matters.
The results are pooled, ranked with a formula printed on the page, and shown with the exact passage, the date and the reason each one sits where it does.
Ten every time: Wikipedia, Stack Exchange, Hacker News, GitHub (GitLab as fallback), OpenAlex (Crossref as fallback), Europe PMC, Internet Archive, Open Library, the Mwmbl web index, Wikibooks. Thirteen more when the query or lens calls for them: Wiktionary, Wikinews, Wikiquote, Wikivoyage, Wikisource, Zenodo, ClinicalTrials.gov, GOV.UK, the Federal Register, the open-data catalogues of the European Union, Canada and Australia, and full-text search inside scanned books.
Up to three sentences copied character for character from the top results, each numbered to the result it came from.
Every result says in one line why it is there and opens the arithmetic behind its position: text match, evidence the source reports, the source's own order.
One switch limits results to items dated up to 30 November 2022. It is a date filter, not a detector.
All, Learn, Research, Build, Discuss, Official choose and re-weight the sources for the job.
If a source fails or runs out of quota, the last answer this browser got for the same search is shown, labelled with its age.
Wikipedia's spelling suggestion is passed on when it differs from what was typed.
A ready citation for any result, one press to copy.
"exact phrase", -word, in:papers, in:gov, in:dict, se:physics, before:2020, after:2019-06. Bangs such as !g, !ddg, !maps and !yt hand the query to another engine, so it can be your default search.
Installable; the page opens with no connection and says which sources did not answer.
From the README’s “Run it yourself” section. Full options, requirements and troubleshooting are there too.

Web, Installable (PWA). You can try it in the browser with nothing to install.
The commands in the “Run it yourself” box above come straight from the README. Paste them into a terminal; the README covers options and troubleshooting.
No server, no account, no key, no cookies, no analytics. No remote scripts or fonts, no inline script, and a content security policy that lists exactly the source hosts.
It is not a crawl of the whole web. It is not a news wire. The only news source is Wikinews.
Not yet: it's marked “live” and still changing. The README always has the current state.
The source is public on GitHub under the MIT licence.
