Telisik

Search the sources. Nothing generated, nothing sponsored.

  1. Telisik is Indonesian for “to look into closely”.
  2. Your browser asks public sources directly. There are 23: Wikipedia and six sister projects, Stack Exchange, Hacker News, GitHub, OpenAlex, Europe PMC, Zenodo, the Internet Archive, Open Library, the Mwmbl web index, ClinicalTrials.gov, GOV.UK, the Federal Register, and the open-data catalogues of the European Union, Canada and Australia. Ten are asked every time and the rest join when the query calls for them. There is no Telisik server, account or tracker in between.
  3. Every title, excerpt and quote on the results page is copied from a source and linked to it. Telisik adds only the labels and the ranking arithmetic. Nothing is written by a language model, and the ranking is shown for each result.
  4. It is not a crawl of the whole web: the web index it asks is small and open. For shops, maps or today’s news, add !g, !ddg or !maps and the query is handed to that engine. What it cannot do.
