Only recently started using searngx. I would love to see more search engines implement their own indexing and ranking, instead of relying on other engines.
But I am aware that making a good search engine is hard. Even with all their flaws, google and Bing still have the best results, which is why most other engines rely on their results.
If you don’t mind having to occasionally refresh the page due to search engine timeout, a public Searxng metasearch engine. I use one just to straight up bypass having to go to any specific search engine. Also allows me to see results from both gøøg|e and b*ng without having to go to either.
What I like about it is that it’s trained on lots of different sources (including, but not limited to Google, and Bing search results). It then strips out the ads, SEO blog spam, and other nonsense and tries to return the most relevant info for my query. It is leagues better than pure Google. Also, it uses its own LLM unrelated to OpenAI.
A bit unfortunate that I got downvoted for having an opinion and sharing it.
We all need to stop using this as our default search engine
What do you suggest? Because even Mozilla uses Google for its search.
Duck duck?
Which is just bing with a few extra editorial changes that aren’t really transparent.
What do you use?

I also wanted to mention that DDG doesn’t really say what editorial changes they make to the results. I would like to see more transparency.

Right click the address bar to add it to your search bar
As the default as it pays for web development. You can change this to DuckDuckGo in settings and I strongly recommend that you do.

Thanks sound interesting.
https://searx.space/ has a listing with responsetime for the sites.
i use www.gruble.de, has worked without issue for the last month or so.
I really like startpage, but I’m pretty sure it’s just Google with some tweaks
Kagi.
Bruh, it asks for login. No thanks.
I’m using qwant as my default now. It does well for most searches, but for map related things I still use google.
startpage, had the Best results for me in the last couple of months, much better then google. and the anonymous view feature is handy and neat
Why don’t you google it? /s
Lol absolutely it’s the only way.
i’m using a mix of ddg startpage and occasionally yandex, and its been good so far.
if you have more good suggestions drop em here.
I know Lemmy likes to hate on AI, but my default search engine is http://perplexity.ai and it’s great
According to Perplexity, that’s just Google Search with some OpenAI sprinkled on top… So yeah, I’m gonna hate on it lol.
