Websearch.co.il: Discover an Independent Web
A community perspective on searching, checking sources and finding useful websites.
עברית
An independent place to start
Websearch.co.il is a search project for people who want another route into the web. Our community values discovering independent sites, technical documentation and voices beyond the most familiar platforms. A useful search begins with a question and ends with checking the original source.
Make the query more useful
Start with the main subject and add a specific clue: Linux server backups, IPv6 hosting or a project name. Try Hebrew and English when looking for Israeli technical communities. When a result looks promising, inspect its date, author and context instead of trusting the snippet alone.
Search syntax
Websearch.co.il uses Solr search syntax. For the technical explanation and examples, read our separate Apache Solr article.
Ranking deserves attention
The first result is a starting point, not proof of truth. Compare sources and look for the original publication. Our article about ranking and field weights explains why changing priorities can change what appears first. Available settings should be read in the context of the service’s current interface.
Independence and responsible use
An independent service still deserves the same careful questions as any other: what does its privacy policy say, what data is retained and who operates it? Avoid putting passwords, private messages or confidential customer details into public search queries. Share useful links and clear feedback to help a community project improve.
Happy searching! Explore Websearch.co.il.
