@Lobstronomosity, yes, Andisearch isn't (yet) so good for images (it's still in heavy developement), but normally it give very reliable answers, even accept commands and !Bangs (see help), similar to DDG, it has a reader mode and you can play YT videos in the search result. It's from a two person startup, Google and tracking haters. Nice and usercentred people.
As with all new ventures with good intentions, I hope they succeed.
@Lobstronomosity, I think so. I'm in communication with them (Angie Hoover and Jed White) on Discord where they are quite active discussing progress, news, bugs, user feedback and suggestions that they take quite seriously. I think that small startups, as well as the one here at Mastodon present @Mojeek search, who want to offer a good alternative to these big corporations, deserve user support.
