Used to get different results googling “pregnant white woman” and “white inventor”on DuckDuckGo. Then found out DuckDuckGo was also owned by a Jew, and now the search results are the same for both. What’s the best alternatives?

https://www.startpage.com

I used DuckDuckGo for most of the past decade but switched to Startpage maybe 6 months ago. I wish I made the switch sooner. It gives much more accurate results than Google or DDG. If you type something and it doesn't find it, it simply gives you no matches. Basically... how search engines used to work before nonsensical algorithms started giving us endless pages of non-matches.

Startpage uses Google but also has its own crawler - it does well depending on what you're looking for - for stuff that's censored, Bing (Qwant and DDG use Bing) often turn up a pile of results where Startpage returns none

Start page has some shady shit going on.

Such as? I haven't heard anything negative about them up to now.

I've always and only used startpage for search for about a decade now. I always found it a reliable although it doesn't yield as thorough results as gog. If I had a source i would post it here but someone said recently something negative about startpage. That is all.

i keep a list but honestly there aren't any really good engines out there that i know of

virtually all of the "alternative" search engines are really just proxies - many use either Bing or Google

Startpage will give better results if you're looking for normie shit, while Bing (Qwant and DDG use Bing) will give better results for stuff that's censored, however it seems DDG ads a layer of censorship that Bing may not

Searx uses any number of engines that you can configure

what is badly needed is a comprehensive, distributed, P2P, censorship resistant search engine where users create the index - a couple exist, but they aren't ready for prime time

You could try yandex or qwant but I haven't been very impressed with them myself.

Qwant has gotten way better in the last 6-8 months. I use it at work.

Qwant.com ✓eu privacy rules. I have found it very robust

I discovered Right Dao (rightdao.com) a couple weeks ago. I haven't tried to dig on it, but it seems to work pretty well. Claims to be uncensored and private. If anyone knows anything about it, would love to get some feedback.

Mojeek is worse so if you use it for a few weeks then all of a sudden ddg sucks quite a bit less.
