gmail is not a search engine.
-
Just email your search query to whoever recently emailed you

Daily reminder that
- Brave's CEO donates to homophobic organizations and
- Brave is connected to the BAT pay-to-surf scam
Don't use Brave.
-
I am missing YaCy, a search engine that is much more in the spirit of the FediVerse.
-
Leta has been nice so far aside from the blue flashbang I'm never prepared for. I pray for darkmode.
Swapped from DDGo after frustrations with the LLM in my searches. The article-bloat is gone too. Very nice.
-
-
Just checked out Swisscows and was greeted by a popup saying, "Swisscows is introducing a subscription model.".
So, that's a non-starter for me.
-
Which of these doesn't include LLM etc bullshit?
-
Searxng
-
Thank you!

Duckduckgo already does, qwant and ecosia are making an index for AI, kagi is an AI company as far as know and the already have it integrated, brave search has an AI too, startpage has an AI service, mojeek has an AI summary feature
Startpage is the only one(excluding open source) that i couldnt find anything about AI
-
Thanks!

Kagi has been by far the best search experience for me. It does cost some money but damn is it nice! Even has a feature to specifcially search only in fediverse. Also a plus supporting them considering they're bringing their Orion browser to Linux.
-
Kagi promises not to collect, but since it's paid all searches are tied to a account and a payment method.
-
Not if you use Privacy Pass, then they only have the proof that you generated x amount of tokens (which are batch generated btw so you can't correlate generation to search)

Ok maybe I'm too pedantic, but I've see this before and it really bothers me how inconsistent information is presented here.
Granted, the country flags are somewhat self-explanatory and we get a legend for E, S, and O.But what do the grey symbols under Searxng and Metager mean? That They are metasearch engines? That info is already communicated by being in the corresponding box.
What is the dark circles under Quant, Ecosia, and Startpage? I don't see any section that specifically refers to those three.
The tie of the differently colored names to the "to note" section is also not immediately clear.
Am I missing something?
-
I agree about the readability. I think the circle under Searxng and Metager is to specify they are aggregators that base their results on those that existing engines would produce. It's very hard to see, but the other circle you mentioned is a REALLY little EU flag. I think that means hosted/owned by an EU company.

Missing stract.com, it's like old school google before the ads. A little slow to update to latest web crawl, but much better content returned
-
Metager has become a paid service since Yahoo doesn't allow them access to their results for free.

SearXNG or Startpage
