Is it just me or are many independent search engines down? Duckduckgo, my go to engine, qwant, ecosia, startpage... All down? The only hint I got was on the qwant page...

Edit: it all seems to be related to bing being down. I hope the independent engines will find a way to get really independent...

Looks interesting why have i never heard of this. Are there any websites that rank search engines to get some concrete metrics? I had a look at what people have been saying about it seems it has poor search results unfortubatly.

idk about any ranking sites, but from what I understand, YaCy gets better the more ppl participate in it

other ppl already mentioned Searxng which is also great

Thats what im currently using but its a meta search engine and still relies on everyone else's proprietary crap.
