Best Search Engine to Use Project

submitted by beece to AskUpgoat 2.1 yearsMar 11, 2022 08:29:30 ago (+29/-0)     (AskUpgoat)

New Voat/Talk.lol Project UPDATED 3/12/22

With DuckDuckGo now intentionally coming out as the enemy of free speech (they always were, but pretended otherwise) it would be nice to find one that works with no censorship (like google). Lets all compare notes and meet back here with your top choices or all of the ones you find rated. Surely this isn't all search engines.

Do this: Find a search string you want to get info on that may be controversial. Lets say something like: "How many faggots kill themselves after they get their balls chopped off". That's just an example, pick something that makes sense to you.
"Did Jews in Ukraine Really Steal $2 billion dollars from the USA"?
"Did Hunter Biden's Laptop really call out his grifter dad, Joe?"

Anyway, you get that part. Enter them all into these search engines and rank them based on how well you think they did based on your question.

Let's keep this thread on topic. I will note that recently I was looking for a video, and metager, my top choice, totally failed, but Qwant came through.

Poster Fight_the_lies put up this site: https://restoreprivacy.com/private-search-engine/ and noted that SearchEncrypt.com is literally Chinese spyware. What Restoreprivacy fails to note is that Express VPN is owned by Kape Technology, an Israli company affiliated with the Mossad. (they were the folks that bought old Voat)


Maybe we all need to utilize multiple search engines. Once you have your list, please add the new ones you tried and rank them all based on how well they did. Clearly I need to re-rank, as it's been a while and duckduck go is known to be superfucked now. Back then, everything under Oscobi was all but worthless for truth and honesty and only used when everything else failed. Google does great if you are looking for a truck to rent, but they sort based on wokeness. Fuck that and fuck them.

Startpage was always spyware. God damn thing has connections to RAT and C2 downloaders. Just pay them off and you deploy any malware you want.

I have used Yandex and it seems pretty neutral, altho many search results end up being russian websites.

Its Russian ergo Chinese. Use that info accordingly.

Yandex.ru is great and I still stand by bing as being the best American search engine

Heh, can't help but notice you don't know about dogpile.com - it's a meta search engine that searches the search engines.

Or millionshort.com

Qwant has been my go to for about 7 years now. Great engine. I only go to others when I need more sources.

There needs to be a distributed open source one

Where different participants have redundant indexes.

Run it in a docker.

For now,
yacy.net

There are others

searx is open source. Maintaining an index probably requires a good chunk of storage and bandwidth but there's a network of existing public instances. I don't think they're coordinated like you seem to be proposing. I think each instance maintains an independent index:

https://searx.space

[ - ] Broc_Liath 2 points 2.1 yearsMar 11, 2022 11:19:45 ago (+2/-0)

As of the other day with the duckduckgo thing I've been using searx.me.

I knew duckduckgo were pozzed before, but I was too lazy to switch. So far searx mostly seems to deliver good results but it's quite slow and sometimes I have to refresh.

Edit: Holy shit, metager is F A S T. I think I'll try using that one for a while. Anyone know anything about it's background?

[ - ] niggerdick69 0 points 2.1 yearsMar 12, 2022 21:41:48 ago (+0/-0)

Metager? What's the url for that instance?

[ - ] Broc_Liath 1 point 2.1 yearsMar 13, 2022 10:29:39 ago (+1/-0)

It's the very first search engine listed above: https://metager3.de/en

It's not a searx instance if that's what you mean though.

[ - ] Paradoxical003 2 points 2.1 yearsMar 11, 2022 09:40:53 ago (+3/-1)

Why stop there?

The best operating system to use, with the best setup.

The best network to communicate on regarding sensitive topics (such as regarding the sharing of information or discussing methods of political activism).

The best hardware build to put together to run things on.

The best software to use for each possible purpose.

Etc.

Well, separate threads, and only do one every few days (or per week) so as not to overload.

"With DuckDuckGo now intentionally coming out as the enemy of free speech"

no no no no no no no
It STARTED THAT WAY and this was clearly posted and reposted on voat. I stopped using it back when it first came out because of someone's research back then.

anyone have that 4chan rhyme about it?

Aether has a community dedicated to Search /b/Search
https://getaether.net

Voat here shares the same flaw as all the search engines suggested here: centralization on a proprietary http platform.

To solve this important problem, a distributed, self-hosted, Free-Software solution is needed. Aether fits the bill for a discussion forum, and for search, the best option is:

https://YaCy.net (Yet Another Cyber)

By the way, if you are benchmarking search engines, I think you should use "Dr. David Duke" and "Brother Nathanael" as search terms.

YaCy is great as you crawl the sites you are interested in yourself and contribute your results to the network. Almost every other option so far suggested provides censored results. With YaCy, you actually look yourself.

If you can't be bothered with YaCy, also look at:

https://www.mojeek.com/
https://www.tor2web.org/
https://gibiru.com/
https://infinitysearch.co/
https://gigablast.com/

And remember, you should be on Aether! https://getaether.net

Check freespoke too

[ - ] neolithic 1 point 2.1 yearsMar 11, 2022 10:14:48 ago (+1/-0)

I use startpage.

[ - ] Empire_of_the_Mind 0 points 2.1 yearsMar 11, 2022 14:48:11 ago (+0/-0)

Startpage is a good option all around. It's sort of like old google in terms of results.

I set my default to https://www.mojeek.com, but the results are pretty disappointing, so I usually go back to startpage, which isn't all that great anymore. I also occasionally use Bing.

Been searching for better search engine for decades without any good results. There's also https://infotiger.com but it isn't any good with results, either.

Maybe also try Brave Search - the search engineer from the Brave people that make the browser.

search.brave.com is not bad, but it needs more results. It's still growing.

[ - ] Cunt 0 points 2.1 yearsMar 11, 2022 10:33:32 ago (+0/-0)

I normally use start page, it's a bit shit though, very much google lite. SearX used to be the absolute best ever but then something happened and they became useless for a while, they got better in general but their image search didn't recover last time I tried. Still decent for controversial stuff last I needed it.

Yandex was okay, but yeah obviously Russian biased.
Bing can be surprisingly good when looking for basic things but is slowly getting worse.
