Rising search engine platform Luxxle is competing against Google by offering users a new way to navigate the internet and letting them use lenses to filter searches by political leaning.
“It takes an entirely different approach than any of the other search engines out there,” Luxxle spokeswoman Molly Koweek told the Washington Examiner. “Our approach is one that you won’t see with any other search engine. We offer far better results, unbiased results, superior privacy.”
“It’s just a much more enhanced experience and one that really puts the users in control,” she said.
Luxxle began in 2018 when tech entrepreneurs noticed a lack of perspective in traditional search engines, according to Koweek.
The engine launched in 2022, and the biggest challenge when competing with platforms like Google is name recognition, she said.
“Really just getting our name out there. When people think of the big search engines, they’ll use it as a verb. They’ll say, ‘I have to Google this,'” Koweek said. “It’s so ingrained in people’s minds that they think of that as the only option.”
Overcoming that obstacle requires a constant push for media attention and user growth.
“There is a need for a search engine that is unbiased, that doesn’t censor content, and as soon as people learn about us, they don’t go back,” Koweek said.
When searching “trump verdict” on Google, Bing, and DuckDuckGo, the “top news spots” presented to searchers were all left-leaning, according to a study conducted by Luxxle and shared with the Washington Examiner.
“On Luxxle, 50% of the top 14 news spots are lean left and 50% are lean right,” the study read. “Then, with the lenses filters, you can decide if you just want to see content that leans left or leans...”

Wow, I just searched “Trump Tapper”. The results were completely unbiased under the “all” lense. I hope it stays that way.
Nice! So sick of the leftists controlling it all.
I’ve been using Yandex a lot over the past year and it is really good. Their images are astounding.
So far, I don’t like it. I need full control of Boolean operators for my research searches. luxxle.com doesn’t specify their system operators and syntax on that page.
I tested Yandex against Bing and got the same results.
I hear that!
In order to make luxxel the default search engine in brave, you have to sign into google.
That defeats the purpose. :(
I’ve gotta try this.

Thanks. Just installed it and I tried the filter out.
Boggles the mind...
Perhaps it’s wishful thinking but I suspect Google’s bottom line is being negatively affected by the competitors.

No it’s not... I just figured out that DeepAI is actually a subsidiary of Alphabet which of course is the parent of Google.
