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

[–] [email protected] 18 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

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

[–] [email protected] 18 points 10 months ago (3 children)

First three search queries I did had zero results. Seems cool but not enough stuff indexed, I guess.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago

They do not index stuff, searx only query's other search engines and compiles the results

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago

Perhaps a different instance will work?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 33 points 10 months ago (2 children)

why do all these search engines use Microsoft? do they have the same results as bing?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 10 months ago

Yes

[–] [email protected] 11 points 10 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 19 points 10 months ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 10 months ago (2 children)

And nothing of value was lost

[–] [email protected] 68 points 10 months ago

Except DDG doesn't search right now which is quite valuable

My serenity. Being forced to use Google.

Kagi is working great

[–] [email protected] 11 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Ecosia too I think.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Ecosia is working for me though

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

It is now.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Seems to affect startpage too

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Hu? Isn’t it google API?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

Seems not, no.
