A cursory review of all the non-metasearch, indexing search engines I have been able to find.

If you ever wanted to know too much about where the majority of our search results come from and the many niche alternatives trying something different…

    Seems fair, in reference to Kagi:

    Unrelatedly: I’m concerned about the company’s biases, as it seems happy to use Brave’s commercial API (allowing blatant homophobia in the comments) and allow its results to recommend suicide methods without intervention. I reject the idea that avoiding an option that may seem politically biased is the same as being unbiased if such a decision has real political implications.

        I can’t disagree. But as one facet among others, I also think “concern” is reasonably warranted in conducting a comparative assessment.

        Edit: also worth highlighting: “there’s nothing wrong with being against gay marriage because it’s a political opinion” is certifiably homophobic. How much responsibility Kagi’s moderators bear for not removing that comment or otherwise explicitly advising that homophobia won’t be tolerated is debatable, but it’s not great.

    After using Kagi a few months I’ve switched to Brave, and been pretty happy with it. It can be low on image results, but for regular web results I haven’t needed anything else.

    Kagi was pretty good, but it didn’t really seem good enough compared to Brave search to justify $10 a month.

    Thanks. I used mojeek a few years ago and was not satisfied, maybe it’s time to give it another go
