My go to search engine is (please boost for greater exposure):

[climatejenny@biodiversity.social]

@ctt Yeah, Startpage. Good enough.

@ctt SearxNG

[ohweh@climatejustice.social]

@ctt@social.lo

DuckDuckGo as voted and sometimes Qwant

[karstan@pdx.social]

@ctt Startpage.com. It sycks just as bad as all the others but jnertia means I haven't moved on

[orthomatrix@social.diachron.net]

@ctt@social.lol Another for Startpage. I used to use Duckduckgo, and I know there's an "AI-free" version of the service, but I'd already been using Startpage by the point I found that out, after dabbling with Ecosia, Qwant.

I wrote my own in #Python.

Startpage

@ctt #Uruky all the way! I’ve been using it for like 2 months now and it has totally replaced Kagi, which replaced DDG.

[sundew@beige.party]

@ctt Mojeek & Qwant

[aj_andrew69@mastodon.social]

@ctt. I will check it out.

[bit101@mstdn.social]

@ctt I'm evaluating start page. it's ok. I did ddg for a couple years, but the quality of results was letting me down.

[timitii@mementomori.social]

@ctt eu.startpage.com

[wortezimmer@ruhr.social]

@CppGuy @cris @ctt
Startpage as well.

[ppatel@mstdn.social]

@ctt Startpage.com though it may change after today since they've abandoned using headings to mark search results.

[petebleackley@wandering.shop]

@ctt Mojeek. UK based, independent (own index and crawler) @Mojeek

Google from 1997. No ads, no fucking AI shite.

No one knows why Google has allowed to exist. My guess its a testing thing that made it to production.

[ellierenee@mastodon.social]

I use OmniSearch, it's a metasearch engine, selfhosted.
