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

[-] snowsuit2654 17 points 11 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 11 months ago

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

[-] gressen@lemm.ee 5 points 11 months ago

Perhaps a different instance will work?

[-] noisypine@infosec.pub 2 points 11 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 11 months ago

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

[-] Petter1@lemm.ee 13 points 11 months ago

Yes

[-] steal_your_face@lemmy.ml 10 points 11 months ago

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

[-] MudMan@fedia.io 18 points 11 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.

And nothing of value was lost

[-] DmMacniel@feddit.de 65 points 11 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 11 months ago

I jumpped onto yandex lol

[-] ripcord@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

Kagi is working great

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

Ecosia too I think.

[-] Shellbeach@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

Ecosia is working for me though

[-] ABCDE@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

It is now.

[-] ObviouslyNotBanana@lemmy.world 10 points 11 months ago

Seems to affect startpage too

[-] Petter1@lemm.ee 5 points 11 months ago

Hu? Isn’t it google API?

[-] InfiniWheel@lemmy.one 4 points 11 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 11 months ago

Seems not, no.

[-] aesthelete@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

Nature is healing, etc.
