Tired of duckduckgo using MSN's amp thing for news or blocking some websites, and it's now adding shit AI too. Don't want to spend any money running a searxng instance for the time being and most public instances are too overwhelmed.

Any suggestions? Doesn't need to be perfect, just not too annoying.

That's a hard one to answer without losing anonymity. It's with contextual searching, like X business in Y town, or looking up specific or niche software tools. I occasionally give Mojeek a fair shot, then switch away when I can't find what I'm looking for. If you'd like, I'll keep track of those instances and email you with examples, is that helpful?

That would be helpful, yes; there is a "submit feedback" button on results pages which allows you to send it directly to us if that works.
