Sorry, I didn't actually realise it was not an open link as thought they had a few free queries. Just replace it with searching for "UK tower blocks" in your search of choice and hopefully you'll see my message.
On Kagi, I have to say though, I happily pay for it. If it's free, you are the product, so not sure how it could be worse privacy wise. That's not mental gymnastics to me, I never saw an advert for it and chose it after seeing it recommended a lot on Lemmy. Tried it out and was sold with the results.
I know there were some gripes around some potential, small funding of a Russian search engine (if I remember but happy to be corrected) but it felt like it was in the area of don't let perfect get in the way of good, and they are so much better than any of the free alternatives. I don't see ads, promoted results, AI crap and can customise my searches to suit me. They realease lots of upgrades that make the experience better for me instead of corporate advertisers. I used DuckDuckGo for years but started to see really bad results. Give me an alternative and I'll try it out!
My friend's server running searxng is free for me to use and I'm not the product.
free for you but not for them. they pay the bill for it
