When any company tells you why they're better, that's just advertising. I appreciate that being a UK outfit, the GDPR applies. I also like that unlike most other alternatives, they built their search engine from scratch, but that doesn't make it intrinsically better.
One would think that if Chess engines can analyze chess outcomes so many moves ahead that AI would be ideal at objectively scoring web search engines but I've yet to find any such thing. Thus far, for me, the most useful thing I've come across is this Wikipedia page that lists many search engines, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_search_engines What this list informs me of is that there's many variables to and ways of getting what one considers good search results which are subjective. I found some very interesting projects here such as Swoogle, a semantic web search engine developed at the Univ of Maryland and Shodan. Shodan is a search engine that can provide info and a GeoIP based map of any and all internet connected devices. Very useful and very scary.
