I’ve recently started using a self hosted SearXNG instance but I’m still using the search engines enabled by default (google, duckduckgo and qwant). What search engines do you have enabled or which ones do you feel you’ve gotten the best results with?

Isn’t this how all the privacy respecting search engines started?

The issue is the search index.

Afaik, only Brave uses its own search index. (It acquired Tailcat, so there’s that.)

I use Duckduckgo, but it uses Bing as its base.

StartPage. It’s Google search results, including calculator, weather, etc., but without sponsored results.

I’ve been using kagi for the last few months, I like it but due to the pricing it’s changes how I use search.

Recently switched to Duck Duck Go and honestly I find the results better than Google. More accurate, less “sponsored” results, …
