    Marginalia search is great for sifting past all the big tech results that usually show up in search and for finding smaller websites

    i'm using ecosia.org and etools.ch, but these are all 'repackaging from other engines'.

    maybe try yandex (ya.ru)?

    @GroupNebula563 marginalia ? the results aren't very broad though

    @GroupNebula563 @asklemmy @askfedi I guess clew.se ticks these boxes, not sure how useful though

    @GroupNebula563 @asklemmy @askfedi doesn't really exist, the closest would be brave, but we know who runs brave...Recently ecosia and qwant have started serving queries from their own shared index EuSP, but they still mostly rely on bing and google.There's also mojeek, but their index is small, around 11-13 billion web pages and local search does basically nothing

    If it weren't for point 2 I would have recommended Searx. And if it weren't for point 1 I would have recommended Ecosia, Qwant, or Mojeek.

    @GroupNebula563 @asklemmy @askfedi I've been daily driving Uruky, it's got a long ways to go but progress is being made. (there's definitely a lot of things that #Kagi still does better.) uruky.com/Been trying to keep track of bugs and suggestions i havecode.apps.thibaultmol.link/thi#Uruky

    @GroupNebula563 @asklemmy @askfedi I don't know how they get their results or from where, but I like StartPage for the lack of AI.
