google search results are still kind of useful especially for non-english language queries, anyone knows a good alternative?
searxng also doesn’t really seem to work these days…
threaded - newest
Duckduckgo is surprisingly okay, even with non-english queries by using the region selector (your experience may vary)
ddg is my primary right now, it absolutely sucks for korean queries sadly
I just gave up on searxng too.
I didn’t even make it an entire day of searxng, front the literally fist search I tried I was getting blocked haha
No problems with my SearXNG here at all (just have to look into Qwant): <img alt="" src="https://lemmy.ml/pictrs/image/d5992d18-048c-4224-9245-b50c2f84a760.png">
is this on a residential IP? are you running vanilla options or any api tokens?
This might be one of those things where self hosting isn’t worth the pain, like email.
I’ve been using Kagi for several years now and have been very happy with it.
Searxng has been pretty sweet, been hosting my own for about a year and some change with pretty good results.
Nah, fuck Kagi.
They are literally giving part of your subscription fee to fucking Russia. In comparison, DuckDuckGo have ended their partnership with Yandex. Vlads refusal to follow suit and his steadfast support of Yandex is quite telling to say the least.
Yet another part of your subscription goes to Elon Musks xAI to support Grok in their AI assistant. Even if you are not using that model, all paying users are effectively subsidizing the cost of the Grok API calls. You can’t opt out of that.
You should look into why so many people isn’t angry at Russia and are now blaming US. Your anger is exactly how US manufactures consent for all their wars, and it keeps you from discovering why people doesn’t hate Russia and even blame US/the west for starting it. They simply create a lynchmob - an echo-chamber - where people won’t listen to counter points bco anger. It works.
ALL US moral attacks on their ‘enemies’ (Ussr/Russia, N.Korea, China, Iran and oc ALL nations that wont be dictated how to live by the US elite) are such manufactured BS, and it all runs on the anger they create in people, and from there, they can do what they want in the name of ‘war against evil’. It will continue as long as people keep believing US and their controlled information bubble.
Give it a try, just read all the headlines in this list: What really happened in Ukraine?
If you couldn’t, or you still refuse the idea of foul play after reading - they got to you…

tankie “leftists” fuck off
Not sure why liberal zionists are downvoting you, but thanks for the good read in the link
Thank you for your service. 50 ₽ have been deposited in your bank account. Don’t forget to fill your quota by the end of the day unless you want to volunteer for military service.
startpage.com
kinda works, but their results are a bit crippled compared to google (also, no way to search specific timeframe)
Kagi.
Searxng too much effort.
KagI is pretty good in various languages.
Kagi is still $10+tax a month. That’s $120 a year (plus tax).
SearXNG is $0 and a few minutes of my time whenever I tweak the configuration.
I like SearXNG,brave search and mojeek. I understand the controversies with Brave but it’s the only good one I can find.
@hexagonwin, yeah—the non-English query thing is the real pain point with most replacements. I’ve been testing a few setups lately, and honestly, combining SearXNG with Brave Search’s API (or just using Brave directly for queries) gets you back some of that multilingual depth that Whoogle had. The indexing lag is real though. We actually built a small comparison of search APIs for devs who need reliable multilingual results—more context at cxgo.ai/l/mN06BJw if you’re already evaluating alternatives.
fuck off clanker

They should use Fable to find hacks that work
Degoog! github.com/degoog-org/degoog
looks neat, will look into it. tysm!
I run SearXNG and haven’t looked back honestly, could never get on with Whoogle’s UI
That’s unfortunate, but not surprising. Luckily, the world works without google.
Get SearxNG and you’ll never need another search engine.
bruh i literally mentioned in the post that SearXNG isn’t working properly
Damn I must’ve overread that. But how isn’t it working? I have a private instance and it has been working without problems apart from connecting to brave, which is rate limiting me immediately. And there’s so many sites to choose as potential providers, losing a few to rate limits honestly doesn’t seem like a big deal.
The modern internet is getting filthier by the day. Gone are the days where independent software used to be a thing I suppose.
isn’t ddg basically google?
ddg gets results from bing, startpage is the one that gets results from google
yeah its hard to keep track who the sugar daddies are with some of these things.
