# Open Algorithms Search Engines utilize complex algorithms to rank the search results that are displayed to consumers. Generally the intricacies of these algorithms are hidden from consumers for a variety of reasons. We will not be taking a closed approach and instead will make our algorithms available and open source. We want others to be able to utilize our algorithms in their own engines. We also believe that feedback from the community will be a key component of improving our algorithm over time and eliminating potential bias that may occur in complex algorithms. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter: ``` GET https://nextsearch.gitbook.io/next-proposal/how-we-are-open/radically-open-algorithms.md?ask= ``` The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
