I know it's a controversial take around these parts, but I've fallen in love with Kagi.
If I had to rank search engines by results, in my opinion/experience:
Kagi > Brave > Startpage/Google > DDG/Ecosia/Bing
Kagi/Brave/Startpage/DDG all offer privacy to some degree. I haven't really fucked with SearXNG though I'm sure its awesome.
I’ve been disappointed by many and don’t trust commercial space.
Dig around and you will find no so pleasant information on DDG and Kagi. I suspect same is true for any business backed search.
I used both and eventually run into negative information, which made me reconsider both. I started with DDG, then Kagi.
It is SearXNG all the way for me now and there are no regrets so far. Other post on it is the best option.
What negative information have you found about Kagi?
Owner is spending all resources into AI neglecting actual search.
There was something else, but I forgot.
