Hi! I’m trying to find a Google alternative, tried duck duck go but found it very lacking, both in results and interface (not showing the date on the links, for example, that’s useful). Obviously don’t wanna go the bing route. Any recommendations? Also, sorry if this is not the right place to ask, I didn’t know where! Thanks!

Presearch is an ok tool. Haven’t heard much of it out there, so it’d be interesting to hear others’ takes.

just don’t pay attention to the crypto stuff, but otherwise it’s alright. it gets its results from other search engines

Like others have said SearXNG if you like to tinker a bit, especially with self hosting. Otherwise, use Brave search if you’re comfortable with Brave or something like Whoogle, a search engine using Google without ads or tracking.

I run searx(ng) and highly recommend it if you’re inclined to diy

Seconded SearXNG. Its especially great if you can self host it, otherwise find a server within your country so it isn’t slow.

Thank you all for the great suggestions! I was like… they are going to send me to duck duck go and call it a day! But there are plenty of engines to try! Thanks!
