I'm trying to degoogle. I've heard good things about DuckDuckGo and I've been using it for the past few weeks and it's pretty solid. But I'm just wondering what the Lemmy/Piefed community prefer for a search engine.

searxng (self hosted). But I understand not everyone can host something. There are public instances out there as well.

    Yes, but my search data doesn't leave my house. Also since my IP changed multiple times a week (not quite daily, but close), I prefer this to using someone else's instance. There is some obfuscation to be gained by searching through a public insurance as well, but my insurance is still used by multiple people, not just me.
