Ah fuck, I've been using Kagi but of course their CEO is a reich-wing asshat.

Anybody know of any other options? I'm not going back to Google.

Are you self-hosting or using a public instance?

[–] Aradia@lemmy.ml 10 points 10 months ago

It's much better is you use a public instance as your results will be harder to be tracked: https://searx.space/ choice your favorite one here

DuckDuckGo is honestly a reliable one

Maybe not too helpful, but I've been using startpage for years now and it still seems like the best option for me. It is google-based but at least private.

I'd like to specifically avoid using straight-up Google as a source, proxied or not. Most of the smaller engines do seem to use Google for at least a part of their results, but for me that's preferable to having to completely rely on it since the results are mostly not very good
