Well, I switched back to @StartpageSearch for my search after a few years of using DuckDuckGo , but then almost immediately read that they (Stargpage) launched their own AI service.

What fucking search engine can I use that doesn't use AI? This is just utterly fucking ridiculous.

@StartpageSearch Okay, I know about DDG and their "noai" service. They are still pushing AI.

Well, I can recommend you try out small engines from a few of my Search Engine dev friends:

https://marginalia-search.com/
https://unobtanium.rocks/
https://stract.com/

I'd recommend my own engine but my senior year of college put me sorely behind on the development process for it and I haven't gotten back into it yet. Maybe in a few months. ;)
