    So we don’t have a real alternative, after reading the article.

    I use SearX, i don’t think it’s bad, but I’d love for alternatives.

      Metager is Open sourced and funded by a non profit. Best search experience I’ve ever had. Plus, it runs on renewable energy.

        Does metager do its own crawling? I like searx a lot but its of course true that all it does is aggregate results from other engines.

          Metager aggregates searches from a whole lot of search engines.

      Searx is pretty good in my experience. It’s just sometimes, the instance that I use occasionally down. When that happened, I use DuckDuckGo. Months ago I used Feneas’ Searx instance but it downs more often though today I haven’t used it since.

      A little problem with Searx is just a little trust issue, like can I trust any random Searx instance?

        If you don’t trust it, host your own. Zero trust involved. I’ve used searx.be and its been pretty reliable for at least a year now.
