I live in a country which uses a language I don't speak but Google defaults to regional results in spite of my language being set to English. All other engines give me really poor results (not that Google was giving good ones, the image search has really gone to shit since they started populating it with AI stuff).

Brave search but am looking for something else now that image search has been removed.

Startpage is great and uses g00g's search index. DuckDuckGo used to be my goto, but then they switched to using Microsoft Bing's search index.

I recently tried Brave and Duckduckgo, but I always come back to Startpage. It's a little bit slow but search result more satisfied for me.

Presearch. I run a node and get paid for running it. The searches are solid as well.

I just recently started using Startpage. The results to me so far seem pretty good but im in a country where I speak the language. And I like that it doesn't save my searches. For that I use DDG.

I use Bing now due to Microsoft Rewards and Bing AI

I use ddg most of the time. It fits all my needs. Sometimes when it comes to very niche things or complicated things I use startpage or brave.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I use one of the searxng instances or startpage.com

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Ddg, brave and startpage

Searxng (searx.be) / startpage

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I'm using Startpage.com (can set the location - I also have the problem that I use a VPN and keep getting not the language I want. IDK how to make it stick though), and Kagi paid for a bit now.

Ecosia, but I need to setup a SearXNG instance sometime.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

A mix of Qwant, Ecosia, and Startpage.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I use a mix of DuckDuckGo, Bing and links through Bing Chat.

I use Ecosia. Supposedly I've done enough searches for 241 trees to be planted, and I've yet to see anything that suggests they dont follow through with the promise to fund the planting of trees (although I've not actively looked). I think it's backed by bing so the results are a bit iffy sometimes, but I use the equivalent of ddg bangs to search Google if I need

Gruble.de, eine Searxng Instanz welche von Adminforge betrieben wird

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Ecosia on my desktop (plus some experiments with Kagi), DuckDuckGo on my phone (although sometimes Google's search widget for quick questions and conversions).

Mine... One of the SearXNG instances published at https://searx.space.
