“You can’t get anything except Lefty narratives on any of the search engines.

It is infuriating.”


It IS infuriating. I can search for an article from a conservative site that I know I read but can’t remember from where. Even searching by almost the exact title, the article will not show up on the first search page. Instead, I get government approved claptrap.

Google approves of Politico, The Hill, NYTs, WaPo, and CNN for political articles, with an occasional PBS and Wokeapedia return included. Today, I searched for something and received returns all in Spanish.

Each time I think I’ve found a new search engine it only takes a couple of weeks before it moves left as well. For instance, Duck Duck Go is now no better than Google.

I haven’t found one yet. I beginning to think other search engines just use google.

I don’t really notice the bias much because mostly I am just looking for factual information and google is pretty good for that. Sure there is distractions about politics but I filter that out.

I use Freespoke occasionally, but it’s not all that great.
Bing seems to be only slightly less slanted than g00gle.

Naomi B. gives a synopsis here:

(There are several search pages that use Google but “sanitize” the search...i.e. “StartPage”...but most of these listed are independent of Google)

-Brave Search
-DuckDuckGo
-MetaGer
-SearX
-Qwant
-StartPage
-Mojeek
-YaCy

Yandex.com is different. I don’t like all the hits, but sometimes I find something interesting.

For news, politics, or history searches, I use OneSearch and Yandex. I used DuckDuckGo for a while, but now it's as bad as Gooble.

The one thing I like about OneSearch it that its search results are encrypted, which is problematic for the censors.
