I apologize if this is old news, but I just noticed it. It looks like Kagi has added Fediverse Forums as a default Web search option.

What non-american search engine do you use?

[–] queermunist@lemmy.ml 5 points 7 months ago (3 children)

I write questions on bathroom stalls and then check back in on them every few days.

Why are you using Grindr Classic for search?

[–] ZeroHora@lemmy.ml 1 points 7 months ago

Not working, the only response I get is penis

[–] dubyakay@lemmy.ca 1 points 7 months ago

And then you write your own (wrong) answers below it in a different hand writing and pen. And call it SEO.

No one mentioned open source alternatives, so I'd add: https://docs.searxng.org/

Search engine? I started rawdoging urls a while ago.

The internet is increasingly more useless, the sites i really need are bookmarked anyway.

Qwant. It's French.

https://metager.org/ is run by a German non-profit. Since late last year it's pay to use because their advertising partner (Yahoo) cancelled their contract without warning. But it's cheaper than Kagi. Also the non-profit is part of the project that's building the European OpenWebIndex ( https://ows.eu/ ) that's releasing this year.

Does anyone use yacy?

[–] SexDwarf@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

As a former Kagi user (quit all my US company subscriptions recently in order to support EU) I've now used Startpage for a month and it has been great so far.

Startpage.com

Better than qwant in my opinion.

I ask friends who are more intelligent than me

And if they don't know I assume it is forbidden knowledge that would drive me mad to know

(I am only half joking)
