They already found and downloaded the torrents to train their LLM. Double standard.

I don't understand how Anna's Archive continues to operate, but I'm glad it does. If this keeps the lawyers at bay, and the site online, I'm fine with it. Anna's has its own search function that works just fine.

Operating from countries that don't care combined with s decent level of opsec while being used by large corporations really does wonders for a site's uptime

Kagi or SearXNG self hosted imo

Ecosia is alright, not as good as Kagi but it's free and does good environmental work through your searches.
