minus-squarelemmesay@discuss.tchncs.delinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·8 months agotons of alternatives. search engines with independent indexes(i.e., not beholden to any big search engine): mojeek brave search(semi independent) kagi(semi independent) meta-search engines(gets results from other search engines): startpage(google) duckduckgo(bing) qwant(bing) swisscows(bing) metager(multiple sources) searx(ng)(multiple sources, configurable by user) I’m still missing a ton but this should give you an idea. for more, see this interactive graph, or this Wikipedia list which includes other niche types of search engines as well. I personally use mojeek(because of their independent index) with duckduckgo as a fallback.
