2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.

5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.

The best I've found is Mojeek. The results take some getting used to because we're all used to Google's fuckery, but I've been using it for months, and it's quite good.
There's also SearXNG, though I'm not sure if that fits your needs. A couple public instances I've liked are:
https://searx.tiekoetter.com/
https://search.fuckoffgoogle.net/
Random SearX Redirector – basically just that, sends your search to a random working SearXNG instance
This is super rad! I've never heard of this, so thanks for sharing.
Thanks, friend. My main problem with using SearX was that instances kept dying on me and I would have to track down a new one every week or so.
I really enjoy Mojeek. It gives you results you would not get anywhere else. I see high value in that
Yeah, it reminds me of the old search engines in the 90s. I've come to love it.
Thanks for the shoutout, it's always much-appreciated. If you're looking to test new things/ help us out in other ways, we're testing a new algo :D
Nice, I'll try it out, thanks!
Coming back half a year later to see this comment. Thank you for thank link. I would love to help out!
It's not currently got something live on it to test (you can use it but it should be the same results across both). If you wanna help out then let us know how you find Mojeek via this survey please!!!! https://blocksurvey.io/mojeek-user-survey-2024-mJmJ2bBcQDy9QtByOmJX7A?v=o
