   @realcaseyrollins SearX is just a front-end to one or more other search engines, so its results depend on which engines it sends your search to (which usually boil down to Google and Bing)

     @sj_zero @AlphaKiloPapa @EvolLove @LCCMV @FourOh-LLC Depends on what you’re searching for. I’ve generally found that #SearX is good for news and obscure/rare things, but #Google / #Startpage is pretty good for everything else.

     I've been using a searxng instance on fbxl that points to most engines other than Google and Bing as my default search engine everywhere -- on mobile on desktop, at home and at work. I keep on thinking that I'm missing something, but then if I have a search that isn't coming up with very good results and I go to Google and try the same search it usually ends up with much worse results. I really expected to miss Google a lot more than I do.

     1 no. Since I use a degoogled phone. It is installed without any google account and so on.

     2 Integrity is an important issue but that was not top priority in this quest to find a search engine that is able to look outside of googles ideology.

     What search engine do you recommend?

     SearXNG instances are honest. No cookies and usually no JS.

     But their results may be insufficient. In that case you may go back to google or yandex for occasional searches. Yandex is better than bing. Just never forget that they are logging and tracking you.

     Startpage also used to be good, I haven't used it in a long time.

     I pointed to freespoke.com to show what it was. I use freespoke as a search engine. And in the phone I have the freespoke app.

     I do not go to freespoke.com and search I use the Search engine and the app.

     And I never accept cookies and It works good with my VPN.

     The freespoke app doesn't need cookies. They have your phone number and all emails registered as "accounts" on the phone plus what other applications you have installed. They know exactly who you are.

     Also, freespoke.com doesn't work at all without cookies and JS. Can't be trusted for privacy either.

     I have tried many search engines over the years. So far the best one I have found is freespoke.com

     But it is not super great for local search outside of the US.

     So the problem is, far as I know all search engines are still crawling on Google/Bing and they seem to be heavily affected of their algos that are 100% politically motivated.

     @FourOh-LLC

     Sounds interesting.
     What I really want is a search engine that isn't crawling on, or rather that's not depending on crawling on Google and bing indexed library.

     I don't know what it would take to independent index all of internet. But Internet existed before Google.

     Perhaps it was All bing, Microsoft back then?

     Yacy is a distributed open source search engine. It isn't amazing, but I'm planning to spin up an instance to add to my searx.

     Yeah they aren't useless. They are useful for someone but to mee they've become nearly useless.

     I remember when I could find real science online. It was easy. Sometimes I had to translate it from a foreign language. It was raw science directly from the source, unfiltered.

     Written by scientists for whomever it concerned. Not political pr. Fictions.

     But that's just one example. It's like there's a huge filter hiding 99% of the real Web.

     Liars are always forced to leave evidence behind - otherwise lies do not work.
     
     I would not say the search engines are useless. I would say their new purpose is to evidence the deception.
     
     If you are into that sort of stuff search engines are a gold mine for you.

     HUMANITY ALWAYS GRAVITATE TOWARDS TRUTH AND COMMON SENSE.

     That's why the propaganda is non stop. If it ever were to ease up people would just come to their senses again.

     That's why internet 1.0 was great for humanity. People left radio and TV and went for whatever they liked on Internet, without political censorship.

     Now social media have become tools for propaganda with sick globalists in total control.

     And basic search engines have become nearly useless due to the same agenda.
