User:Superb Owl/Reliable Source Engine

• Wikipedia:Advanced source searching#Custom search engines for an overview of various niche search engines on Wikipedia
• Wikipedia:WikiProject Conservatism/References for a more focused version of this reliable search engine that aims to exclude left-leaning sources

I am no longer proactively updating this search engine given the limitations of Google programmable search (which seems to be getting worse somehow) and hope there will, within the next year, be an AI search assistant or another traditional search engine that will be better than anything I could do to improve upon this Google tool (please post on the talk page if you have found such a tool). As long as this search engine being used, I will try to respond to requests to clarify or otherwise fix the search engine.

Full list available in different formats on [https://github.com/Superb-Owl-Wiki/Reliable-Source-Engine Github]

List of Opinion/op-eds, blogs, commentary, editorials, tags, author profiles and forums (also on [https://github.com/Superb-Owl-Wiki/Reliable-Source-Engine Github])

1. Can't filter to a specific time period when content was most reliable using Google ([https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/bing/apis/bing-custom-search-api Bing Custom Search API] might be able to though...)
2. CNET (before October 2020)
3. ZDNET (before October 2020)
4. Newsweek (before 2013)
5. The Independent - concern by editors starting in March 2016, though very close to including anyway
6. {{Annotated link|The Weekly Standard}}, the domain is inactive and redirects to an unreliable source, so the main issues is finding a domain to search (https://web.archive.org/web/20181231145630/https://www.weeklystandard.com/ did not work)
7. Confusing to differentiate between opinion (or low-quality information) and news, at least for beginners (looking for AI-assisted search tool that could enable the inclusion of the reliable content from these sources)
8. Forbes (articles written by 'contributors' are unreliable)
9. Jacobin - difficult to tell blog from article
10. IGN - too many caveats to memorize
11. Space.com (recommended to check qualifications of each author)
12. Yahoo! News (aggregates news from a number of sources, including very unreliable ones)
13. Not reliable for all political topics
14. ADL.org - not reliable for Israel/Palestine
15. Business Insider - just reliable for culture
16. {{Annotated link|HuffPost}}
17. The Jewish Chronicle - removed due to pre-2010 caveat and politics flags
18. {{Annotated link|Kommersant}}
19. {{Annotated link|Rolling Stone (magazine)}}
20. {{Annotated link|South China Morning Post}}
21. {{Annotated link|Sixth Tone}}
22. {{Annotated link|TheWrap}} - not evaluated for reliability on politics (and includes significant politics coverage)
23. Times of Israel - torn on this one because discussion seemed contentious on political questions and there are legitimate press freedom concerns. Open to feedback
24. To avoid explicit content ('safe search' is also turned on for this search engine)
25. {{Annotated link|AVN (magazine)}}
26. {{Annotated link|Playboy}}
27. Video Game-specific sites
28. People Make Games - removed and suggested for inclusion on the custom Video game search engine (though YouTube might not be indexable like other sites)
29. Unclear whether it would be helpful:
30. {{Annotated link|Aon (company)}} - can't find weather-specific page
31. {{Annotated link|Geographic Names Information System}} - useful in this kind of search engine?
