You might want to try SearXNG
It's an Open Source search aggregator:
I’ve been using this for about a year, but at work I’m still on Google (don’t know why).
What’s weird is SearXNG seems like it gets better results now, even though they’re just coming from the others.
One thing I like is that I can switch instances to get varied results based on the instance’s geographical location. In other words, it doesn’t feel like anything’s targeted.
I tried that for a couple of weeks recently and while not dealing with all the bullshit google ads was refreshing, the actual results were often pretty bad.
My bad, I should've replied to your comment first!
Have you tried customizing your search settings in SearXNG? I've found that tweaking the instance's default search settings improves the search experience quite a bit
I might look into that later. Thanks.
Thanks! I love it, really works well from my limited testing!
I used priv.au
no worries!🤗
we have gone full circle back to metacrawler.
