What are the best search engines?

I’m not happy with searx.

Other search engines like startpage, DuckDuckGo and Ecosia I believe uses bing search.

Well yahoo search is probably the worse.

Best is subjective
If you consider most used as part of the determination, then google is the best. Its by far the most popular

This website has an interesting graph

Yandex does not want anyone with fingers to use their website.

I did contact duck duck go last year complaining on their biased search results a top,
as they stated they use google results for popularity.

therefore, (that dreaded therefore word)
everything search-wise uses google as a conduit now.
ChatGP? was supposed to be an alternative, but worse as the site omits basic facts
case in point my MBP 2012 is good up to High Sierra only
and Shimano 11 speed cassette won't work with a rim brake wheel.
their TV commercials are nice, I guess but don't understand the backgrounds correlation
to the search topic since the type is too small.

i'm researching locating a pure unaltered novel, book or literature from 1830
without any revisions, and can't find anything, neither did my local library yesterday.

I guess there really is not a pure search engine that won't shove a biased or helpful result anymore.

I like Kagi. It's free to try but has usage limits unless you pay for it. It's worth every penny, though. You should read about how they find results as well as how they rank those results.

Who would've thought that search works better when it doesn't need to sell you something?

What is there a free open source search engine?

I use DuckDuckGo.

I ran into problem today. I was using DuckDuckGo to find sci fi artwork and saved it to my computer of sci-fi stuff. And number of pictures got deleted and I used DuckDuckGo to search for it again and cannot find it.

I even tried Bing and Google but still cannot find it. I know DuckDuckGo has it but it not showing now.

What other search engine do you use and can recommend? Also what is wrong with DuckDuckGo now?

Anyone else ran into this problem? Of why DuckDuckGo has it but it not showing now. I can’t seem to find the sci fi artwork photo I was looking at. It seems unlikely DuckDuckGo would deleted it.

I returned to Kagi last year, after a short time with Brave Search. I dropped DuckDuckGo when they started downranking Russian websites for political reasons (I don't want a biased search engine, regardless of whether I agree with the bias), and Brave Search is just not exactly great. (Also, ads.)

I have never been more happy to pay for a subscription than Kagi's.
