Tired of duckduckgo using MSN’s amp thing for news or blocking some websites, and it’s now adding shit AI too. Don’t want to spend any money running a searxng instance for the time being and most public instances are too overwhelmed.

Any suggestions? Doesn’t need to be perfect, just not too annoying.

      If i search something in a language other than EN/DE/FR… I couldn’t find anything. This is very frustrating for an Asian user

        which languages are you searching in? It’s likely that they are as-of-yet unsupported. There are a lot of languages we crawl and index in which aren’t en/de/fr but non-neo-latin languages are not currently available.

            for the moment it’s just not in the crawl; I will add +1 into the “add Japanese” column off the back of this interaction

              Thanks for doing this! Kudos:) & I believe that many users also look forward to search in Chinese and Korean

      That’s a hard one to answer without losing anonymity. It’s with contextual searching, like X business in Y town, or looking up specific or niche software tools. I occasionally give Mojeek a fair shot, then switch away when I can’t find what I’m looking for. If you’d like, I’ll keep track of those instances and email you with examples, is that helpful?

        That would be helpful, yes; there is a “submit feedback” button on results pages which allows you to send it directly to us if that works.
