https://searx.space/ Just pick an instance and you're good to go.

[–] Gamers_Mate@kbin.social 18 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Btw If you are not sure which instance of searx to pick look for one with your country code.

[–] snowsuit2654@lemmy.blahaj.zone 17 points 1 year ago (3 children)

First three search queries I did had zero results. Seems cool but not enough stuff indexed, I guess.

[–] twei@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 1 year ago

They do not index stuff, searx only query's other search engines and compiles the results

[–] gressen@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago

Perhaps a different instance will work?

[–] noisypine@infosec.pub 2 points 1 year ago

You can go in to settings and select what search engines to pull from. The defaults on that instance may not be sufficient.

I cant seem to find where it says if api access is enabled. Or maybe i just messed up my lqngchain tool config

[–] stebo02@sopuli.xyz 32 points 1 year ago (2 children)

why do all these search engines use Microsoft? do they have the same results as bing?

[–] Petter1@lemm.ee 12 points 1 year ago

Yes

[–] steal_your_face@lemmy.ml 11 points 1 year ago

I think ddg has some self-baked stuff but also uses bing’s index for some stuff.

[–] MudMan@fedia.io 19 points 1 year ago

Oh, so that's what's going on. I noticed DDG added an AI chat service to their search page and I was so ready to blame that. Goes to show PR works on everybody.

Ecosia too I think.

[–] Shellbeach@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Ecosia is working for me though

[–] ABCDE@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

It is now.

[–] ObviouslyNotBanana@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Seems to affect startpage too

[–] Petter1@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Hu? Isn’t it google API?

[–] InfiniWheel@lemmy.one 4 points 1 year ago

Yeah, that's odd. I could swear Google had something in its terms that specified you couldn't mix its results with other search engines.

[–] ObviouslyNotBanana@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Seems not, no.

Nature is healing, etc.
