Standard Lemmy Counter point recommending StartPage.

Standard Lemmy reply mentioning Kagi is great if you’re willing to pay for a search engine.

Standard Lemmy user recommending Linux

Standard Lemmy comment completely unrelated to what's being said but somehow still finding a way to call you a piece of shit for not being pitically or socially progressive enough and therefore a Nazi.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

Ive heard about it what is it please explain.

Edit: seems it nolonger maintaned but found the searxng fork been running it a while now works great no complaints from me.

More or less SearX is an open source meta-search engine that can be customized and configured to look through a wide array of existing search engines.

Anybody can run a SearX instance, and many do, with different backend configuration, and sometimes a bit of a customized front end.

Https://searx.space has an updated and detailed list of these instances.

Can i just host it on localhost with a daemon cos my server is at home and running at possibly the worse internet speeds in history.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

You can. That is how I use it.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

Well thank you kind lemmyer. You have convinced me. Been on duckduck go for a while but when times get desperate i go to google and its making less and less helpfull results.

Unfortunately startpage has been owned by an ad agency for some years now.
