   Indeed mojeek.com is not the only non-tech-giant #searchEngine (+crawler). From strypey’s mentions + some of my notes:

   * #Mojeek ← does their own crawling
   * #Metager.org ← does their own crawling
   * #SearchMySite.net ← avoid (Cloudflare)
   * #Searx ← just proxy software, many instances
   * #4get ← another proxy software, about a dozen instances: https://4get.ca/instances
   * #Gigablast ← does their own crawling, but what happened?.. they were dissolved last year & seem to now be www.alltheinternet.com
   * #Ombrelo ← a proxy but more advanced than the others (filters/downranks Cloudflare sites)

   #YaCy is notable because it’s a crawler that you can install and operate yourself. YaCy instances can be public-facing and they can also share indexes with each other fedi style apparently. Some Searx instances tap YaCy instances.

   I would love to find a searx or 4get instance that rejects the tech giants, but aggregates from YaCy, mojeek, gigablast, metager, maginalia.nu, frogfind.com, & wiby.me.

   And I would love it even more if it would make replacements:

   * #StackExchange → #AnonymousOverflow
   * #YouTube → #Invideous
   * #Medium.com → scribe.rip
   * #BBC → BBC’s onion site
   * #NYTimes → New York Times’s onion site
   * etc.

   search.fabiomanganiello.com makes some of those replacements.
