https://searx.space/ Just pick an instance and you're good to go.

[-] snowsuit2654 17 points 6 months ago

First three search queries I did had zero results. Seems cool but not enough stuff indexed, I guess.

[-] twei@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 6 months ago

They do not index stuff, searx only query's other search engines and compiles the results

[-] gressen@lemm.ee 5 points 6 months ago

Perhaps a different instance will work?

[-] noisypine@infosec.pub 2 points 6 months ago

You can go in to settings and select what search engines to pull from. The defaults on that instance may not be sufficient.

Btw If you are not sure which instance of searx to pick look for one with your country code.

[-] stebo02@sopuli.xyz 32 points 6 months ago

why do all these search engines use Microsoft? do they have the same results as bing?

[-] Petter1@lemm.ee 13 points 6 months ago

Yes

[-] steal_your_face@lemmy.ml 10 points 6 months ago

I think ddg has some self-baked stuff but also uses bing’s index for some stuff.

[-] MudMan@fedia.io 18 points 6 months ago

Oh, so that's what's going on. I noticed DDG added an AI chat service to their search page and I was so ready to blame that. Goes to show PR works on everybody.

[-] mlen@awful.systems 12 points 6 months ago

And nothing of value was lost

[-] DmMacniel@feddit.de 65 points 6 months ago

Except DDG doesn't search right now which is quite valuable

My serenity. Being forced to use Google.

[-] manuallybreathing@lemmy.ml 2 points 6 months ago

I jumpped onto yandex lol

[-] ripcord@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago

Kagi is working great

[-] ABCDE@lemmy.world 11 points 6 months ago

Ecosia too I think.

[-] Shellbeach@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

Ecosia is working for me though

[-] ABCDE@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

It is now.

[-] ObviouslyNotBanana@lemmy.world 10 points 6 months ago

Seems to affect startpage too

[-] Petter1@lemm.ee 5 points 6 months ago

Hu? Isn’t it google API?

[-] InfiniWheel@lemmy.one 4 points 6 months ago

Yeah, that's odd. I could swear Google had something in its terms that specified you couldn't mix its results with other search engines.

[-] ObviouslyNotBanana@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

Seems not, no.

[-] aesthelete@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

Nature is healing, etc.
