Using MyJay Search.
MyJay Search indexes public pages from MyJay, Neocities, and Nekoweb. It's a plain ranked match on what you typed, not a tuned-for-engagement algorithm. For how indexing itself works (and how to opt out), see search indexing.
The basics
Type a query and hit Search, or pick a suggestion as you type (autocomplete is matched against terms already in the index, so a suggestion always returns something). Results are ranked: pages matching every word in your query come first, then pages matching some of them, best matches at the top.
Filters
The sidebar (or the filter section above results on narrow screens) lets you narrow by:
- Platform: All, MyJay, Neocities, or Nekoweb
- Date indexed: any time, past week, past month, or past 90 days
- Tag: an inferred content type like blog, art, or portfolio, see how tags get inferred
Filters and your query are part of the URL (/search?q=...&platform=...),
so a search result page is always a link you can share or bookmark.
"Did you mean"
A single-word query that returns nothing gets checked against terms already in the index for anything close (a short edit distance, same first letter and similar length). If something close exists, it's offered as a suggestion, click it to re-run the search.
No results, never a blank page
An empty result set always offers something else to do: browse recently indexed sites, a tag, or hit "a random site." The homepage of /search (no query) shows the same recent feed and tag list, plus a Surprise me button that opens one random indexed page in a new tab.
Sites like this
Every result card has a "Sites like this" link that expands in place, showing other indexed pages that share tags with it (or, for an untagged page, other pages on the same platform). Nothing is fetched until you click it.
What this isn't tracking
Searches are logged as plain query text (for the admin's "what are people searching for" view, and to see which queries return nothing), with no IP address, no account link, and no record of which result you clicked. Consistent with the rest of the platform: no trackers, no algorithm tuned on your behavior.
