I’m really stuck on a good search engine to use lately. I want to avoid American products as much as possible.

Kagi is what my colleagues are transitioning to, but it is completely American.

Qwant is seeing some use, but its searches are generated from Bing API from what I understand.

Anyone know something purely non-American that supports English and is, you know, good?

    I have anti-recommendations:

    • kagi is a piece of shit run by a bigot who loves AI and anyone paying for it because they hate AI is embarrassing themselves. their fans will probably find and raid this thread because suppressing critique about the awful search engine you pay for monthly is a normal thing to do.
    • ecosia is a piece of shit doing extremely obvious greenwashing, and none of their claims about their LLM somehow magically being green pass muster. I don’t think ecosia has rabid fans, it’s pretty much for the kind of asshole who wants to feel good about the damage they’re doing to the planet.

    best of luck with the recommendations
