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!

I use a selfhosted searxng. There are many public instances too. Take a look at GitHub

I’ve been selfhosting searxng as well. I’m very happy with the search results once I configured it. Public searxng instances work very well for me too.

I been trying to configure it myself but I wasn’t able to do it. I change the config file so I can use Brave and Startpage as default search engines but the changes did not applied. I restarted the service and everything.

https://www.startpage.com/ it’s pretty much google search without tracking

Though it is now owned by an advertising company so caution is advised.

I’ve been using Duckduckgo for a while now, really like the option of using bangs to quickly search on other platforms like Maps, Google News, YouTube, etc.

Bangs are the reason I moved to DuckDuckGo after Neeva shut down
