Hi Aravind, no I don't have anything to do with the two websites I linked to. I just try to be helpful when I can! I know about the Podcasting 2.0 project and Podcast index from the Noagendashow.net podcast hosted by Adam Curry and John Dvorak. They do the podcast without ads and often talk about censorship and why having advertisers is a problem to be avoided.

I had never tried to use the search function on podcastindex.org. You are right, the search on the main page has some shortcomings. I'm a little surprised at that because I use one of the recommended apps called Podcastaddict and I'm pretty sure the app uses podcastindex for its search. From the app I can search podcasts, episodes, or people.

Taking your example, I searched VAERS in episodes and got 134 hits. I think I found some new podcasts to subscribe to!

All that being said, I really like the Encyclosphere idea. I'll check it out.

Good idea.

And since DuckDuckGo has fallen, can someone recommend a better search engine?

Brave Leo is very interesting, but the core Brave search engine needs to improve a lot to match the search behemoths
