Been looking for a search engine that isn't plauged with SEO garbage every time I look for anything. Been using DDG for quite a long time now, and I'm starting to get dissatisfied with results. It seems like more and more results are just companies trying to make their way to the top of the search results instead of anything organic. It's even worse when I look for any kind of service or product.

Looking for as close to 100% organic results as possible.

Qwant "The search engine that doesn't know anything about you, …"

Clicks on link: "Unfortunately we are not yet available in your country."

🤔

I mean … I suppose that’s marginally better than Google’s frontpage telling me what town I’m in?

I guess any site will have access to the address that is used to access them. The question is what do they do with it. Maybe Qwant has a bot that scans addresses and sends back this message if they are not operating in a specific country. Important thing is that they don't put any cookie in your navigator and don't keep any information after you've left.

I’m not quite sure what Qwant is basing their country availability on
