There is no such thing as a Stupid Question!

Don't be embarrassed of your curiosity; everyone has questions that they may feel uncomfortable asking certain people, so this place gives you a nice area not to be judged about asking it. Everyone here is willing to help.

Thanks for reading all of this, even if you didn't read all of this, and your eye started somewhere else, have a watermelon slice ๐Ÿ‰.

I've tried searx, but even simple queries returned no results. I just want sometnig reasonably private that works and doesn't turn the Web into a shopping mall.

DuckDuckGo. I also used to use Starting Page although it's been a while.

Out of curiosity, what aren't you happy about with DDG? It protects your privacy unlike the other sites you mentioned

I've never gotten actually decent search results from DDG and was always ending up using !g to find something vaguely relevant, especially for non-English queries.

Interesting, thanks for sharing. It's not great hearing that non-English functionality is worse. I've used DDG (in English) exclusively for 2 years without complaints

Odd because i always find what im looking for with DDG.
