I’m not the creator of 4get, the chart is from here: https://digdeeper.club/articles/search.xhtml
That should definitely be linked for context of this “data”
Edit: That article directly calls 4get “the best search engine”, and the diagram implies that to be the case as well. Given that 4get has existed for 4 days I just find everything else from the author to be very suspect. This should at least have the author’s context added or more of a heads-up that this isn’t exactly rigorous data. 4get’s current audit status is just trust me bro, which I find difficult when the entire rest of the about page is filled with immaturity.
I found someone on 4chan that wouldn’t stop announcing this engine on /g/, most likely the owner as well. And seeing that the name is 4get, it probably started there
4get has existed for at least 1 month, judging by the git activity https://git.lolcat.ca/lolcat/4get/activity/yearly
Publicly existed. It was announced 4 days ago. The author said they have been working on it for a full year now, but until they release it there’s really no way for third parties to be using it and forming opinions.
