There are solutions to these problems using software like [yacy](https://yacy.net/). One thing I like about yacy is when you find something you might want to get back to you can have yacy index the page. It's better than creating a whole bunch of bookmarks you might never use. > Modern search engines can parse text from images. I'm not sure that is such a big deal. I think the OP was more trying to get around (((google))) censorship. These days political topics such as the covid hoax cannot be searched on google. I really used to like filtering a search based on time span (ie find a news article about covid vaccine deaths in january), but that doesn't work anymore. Unfortunately, I've found google is still pretty dominant for finding a specific error message with a specific platform/version.
