I've switched from DuckDuckGo to Ghostery Private search. I've been happier with the results than DDG.

I'm using SEARXNG. It's a search engine aggrigate and you can mix and match where you want your results to come from. It's like using Google from a decade ago.

I remember discovering MetaCrawler in the 90s (before Google was even founded) and it quickly became the go-to search engine because its aggregate results were superior to any of the other options at the time. I don’t think its source mix was tunable, but that sounds like appropriate progress for 30 years.

Interesting. That seems a fairly heavy duty search and possibly more than most users would want to go about installing. But it's something to keep in mind if needed.

There are hosted versions you can just use without installing at home.

I'm going to bookmark that and give them a try.

I'm using SEARXNG.

Sounds like the Elon alternative for searching
