https://searx.space/ Just pick an instance and you're good to go.

Btw If you are not sure which instance of searx to pick look for one with your country code.

First three search queries I did had zero results. Seems cool but not enough stuff indexed, I guess.
twei@discuss.tchncs.de · 6 pts · 2y
They do not index stuff, searx only query's other search engines and compiles the results
gressen@lemm.ee · 6 pts · 2y
Perhaps a different instance will work?
noisypine@infosec.pub · 2 pts · 2y
You can go in to settings and select what search engines to pull from. The defaults on that instance may not be sufficient.

I cant seem to find where it says if api access is enabled. Or maybe i just messed up my lqngchain tool config

why do all these search engines use Microsoft? do they have the same results as bing?
Petter1@lemm.ee · 12 pts · 2y
Yes

I think ddg has some self-baked stuff but also uses bing’s index for some stuff.

Oh, so that's what's going on. I noticed DDG added an AI chat service to their search page and I was so ready to blame that. Goes to show PR works on everybody.

Ecosia too I think.
Shellbeach@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y
Ecosia is working for me though
ABCDE@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y
It is now.

Seems to affect startpage too

Hu? Isn’t it google API?
InfiniWheel@lemmy.one · 4 pts · 2y
Yeah, that's odd. I could swear Google had something in its terms that specified you couldn't mix its results with other search engines.
ObviouslyNotBanana@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y
Seems not, no.

And nothing of value was lost
DmMacniel@feddit.de · 69 pts · 2y
Except DDG doesn't search right now which is quite valuable

My serenity. Being forced to use Google.

search.brave.com is currently up and running.
