I really wish Qwant would add the ability for me to Seach "1 eur to usd" and just get the results.

Along with "tsla" and "23 *3" and just get results.

How about just NOT supporting companies? Having an European company control what gets shown to you is not much of an improvement over having an American one do it...

There are decentralized search engines like SearXNG

Anyone noticed google brought back forum seaching again? I left google search way back just because that feature went away.

Either way I can't stand the AI answers I can't turn off.

This is a bit like Trumps tariffs, we need to cut everything off but there is no real alternative services. According this infograph, Startpage should be politically correct choice..

Qwant is the closest to being independent and Non-US.... I was recently told about StartPage being bought out by System1 (A US company)
