you don't have to tell me information about why Rui's drive is gone, I just googled it because I forgot their name (I thought it was Anadius' drive at first)

What do you use?
Sadly, Ddg. What else can I use?
I currently really enjoy self-hosted Perplexica (a FOSS alternative to the Perplexity AI search engine), which uses SearXNG as a meta-crawler, and Ollama for local AI integration. I'm very happy with it, but it requires a fairly powerful server (not a Raspberry Pi or another SBC, the only one that might work is the Nvidia Jetson or whatever it's called, but I haven't tried that yet).
I don't know, I also use DDG because I can't find a better alternative. I thought you had a better recommendation 😂
The only thing that comes to my mind is 4get, a proxy for DDG which is a little better for your privacy, since you don't have to trust DDG as much. But it lacks some features like DDG's Bangs.
There's also LibreY, a fork of LibreX, which acts as a proxy for Google. Still not great though. The one thing I really like about it, it that it also has a built-in torrent search feature.
I think the best option is SearXNG, you can configure which search engines you want to use, and you can access DDG bangs by using two exclamation marks (e.g.
!!ytfor YouTube)Unfortunately there's no good self-hostable search engine with a good web crawler
