https://searx.space/ Just pick an instance and you're good to go.
-
Btw If you are not sure which instance of searx to pick look for one with your country code.
-
First three search queries I did had zero results. Seems cool but not enough stuff indexed, I guess.
-
Perhaps a different instance will work?
-
They do not index stuff, searx only query's other search engines and compiles the results
-
You can go in to settings and select what search engines to pull from. The defaults on that instance may not be sufficient.

-
I cant seem to find where it says if api access is enabled. Or maybe i just messed up my lqngchain tool config
-
-
why do all these search engines use Microsoft? do they have the same results as bing?
-
Yes
-
I think ddg has some self-baked stuff but also uses bing’s index for some stuff.
-
-
Oh, so that's what's going on. I noticed DDG added an AI chat service to their search page and I was so ready to blame that. Goes to show PR works on everybody.
-
Ecosia too I think.
-
Ecosia is working for me though
-
It is now.
-
-
-
Seems to affect startpage too
-
Hu? Isn’t it google API?
-
Yeah, that's odd. I could swear Google had something in its terms that specified you couldn't mix its results with other search engines.
-
Seems not, no.
-
-
-
Nature is healing, etc.
-
Are you sure that ChatGPT is affected?
-
And nothing of value was lost
-
Except DDG doesn't search right now which is quite valuable
-
My serenity. Being forced to use Google.
-
search.brave.com is currently up and running.
