I think I found a good search engine that is not the mainstreams.

Posted on 10/25/2022 12:15:41 AM PDT by Jonty30

I've been looking for search engines that have minimal corruption by Big Tech.

I've tested many and they all seem to repeat the same first page over and over and as you click next page.

However, www.ask.com seems to have escaped the corruption for the time being.

I'm actually getting different webpages as I click next page.

I knew the search engine existed, but I forgot about it.
Some here may not be aware of it, so I’m just being informative.

Have you tried Resulthunter.com?

https://resulthunter.com

I’ve only been using for a week. I like it better than previous search engines.

I only use Google for mundane stuff (how to replace xyz computer components in xyz models, etc). I work in IT so we have to use it.

I like:
  1. Right Dao
  2. Dissenter

Both are clean and simple with no clutter...

www.swisscows.com also seem to be a decent website to find stuff.

Did this use to be Ask Jeeves from wayback?

What would be a good test to evaluate these search engines?

If you keep clicking next page, but you keep getting the same results that search engine is locking down the information.

Yes. It’s a little out of date now. I switched to Bravo.

I just tried it, and while I like the search results it is Google. In fact it has all the Google tracking scripts.

If you want Google without the tracking and with a proxy, when needed, Startpage is for you.

Otherwise, I use Brave search.

I use Brave for youtube viewing. It completely blocks their annoying commercials and ads.

Careful! Building a search engine is massively expensive, so most of these “independent” engines are just shells for Bing, Yahoo, maybe even Google itself. DuckDuckGo is just the most visible of this genre.

Brave and Yandex are both good in terms of not being corrupted nearly as much as others by Big Tech.
