OrbitalMartianWhat search engine do you use/recommend?
Trying to find a good one, currently using Ecosia which is great but looking for a change.

Still liking #DuckDuckGo, but I think @Mojeek is worth a look.
They have a great presence on #Fedi.
kritikaPensulo@RL_Dane #DuckDuckGo is not a search engine; it’s a proxy for an engine (Bing). #DDG is a Microsoft syndicate that should be avoided:

Not to mention Microsoft should be avoided anyway by anyone who boycotts Israel.
Best search svc for me is #Ombrelo as it downranks Cloudflare sites. Walled gardens should not be at the top of the page. Though it’s not an engine.
A new emerging one is #stract.com which is a true search engine (in-house crawler).

@Mojeek @kritikaPensulo @RL_Dane I try to steer away from politics leading my choices, if it works then it works, if not then it doesn’t.
By search engine I want something that I can search the web and come up with an answer that I need, not absolute random stuff like smaller engines give (mostly just smallweb sites).
