@wiler @DestinationLinux Use Startpage 
β
@wiler @DestinationLinux you know, I cant remember now. I did a deep dive into every alternative search engine at the time, and I found Startpage to be the best of the options.
SearX I have particularly had problems working. Even when I switched servers. I would get a lot of blank search results.
Startpage is supposed to give google results as if there was no personalization. They are also a Netherlands company.
@wiler @DestinationLinux Yea, I mean I tried 3. I understood that they are self-hosted by anyone and everyone. The idea itself is great, but in practice it yielded terrible search results.
(Blank seaches was the biggest issue. A search that I do anywhere else and immediately get results from. DDG, Startpage, bing, google all give results when searchx did not. )
@wiler @DestinationLinux to be double fair, if I use google, I get flagged and have to put in a captcha. Or at least that used to be the case. I use a lot of boolean operators.
@wiler @DestinationLinux To be fair, even Startpage sometimes have blank search results. But its so rare. Like twice a month. Going to google (I know, I know) solves that problem.
