Any “small-web” search engines? (lemmy.zip)

I use Duckduckgo, but I realised these big(ish) search engines give me all the commercialised results. Duckduckgo has been going down the slope for years, but not at such a rate as Google or Bing has.

I want to have a search engine that gives me all the small blogs and personal sites.

Does something like this exist?

I've signed up for the €5 a month subscription at kagi and I've never used my whole quota.

Granted I expect it's overly expensive if you live in a developing country like Eritrea or the United States

5 euros a month for 300 searches. Definitely not worth it. I live in germany.

Like I say, I've never used all 300 because most of it is inane stuff that can still be googled

Though aye, if you're rabidly searching for really specific furry porn, I can see it running out

I pay 25EUR for a family subscription. Unlimited queries. Also means the risk of family members downloading malware (through paid ad results) is a lot lower.
