In @Vivaldi, we provide a set of search engine choices. It differs a bit from country to country, but generally we have a nice set of search engines to choose from.

I would advice that you select one of the smaller search engines. They are generally better when it comes to privacy and you are supporting an alternative to Big Tech, although most of them get their search feeds from either Google or Microsoft at this time. That also means that switching from Google or Bing will allow you to get similar search results, while stepping away from Big Tech, so the switching cost should be lower.

So what is your favorite search engine?

@jon @Vivaldi I have to mention @clew here. Even though it's smaller and just recently started, what it lacks in quantity it makes up in quality.
@sunarch @jon @Vivaldi @clew Good shout Sunarch, a great search engine (it's having a redesign atm using all the devs learning from the first itteration to make it better).

Yep! If you want to see what's currently up I just published the latest dev blog post:

The New Ariadne Architecture

While on a fourteen-hour international flight, I finally managed to come up with an architecture for Clew's web crawler that I'm happy with. Here's the run-down.
