On: Lukol – A “Privacy” Search Engine

[stigz]

Can't vouch for Lukol, but I have been using Searx and really enjoy it. You can self host or use a public instance.

Or the fork which is much more active these days https://docs.searxng.org/

In the past it Lukol served Google Ads: https://github.com/privacytools/privacytools.io/issues/1557#...

Searx is great. Every time searx results are bad to inexistent I compare with Google, and results are as bad to inexistent. This is in stark contrast to one year doing the same with DDG where !g was often the key to good results. Ony thing is, because public instances tend to face some rate limiting about once a week, so everytime I type a long query I "CTRL A > CTRL C" it to make sure I don't lose it.

kagi.com is the best of the new searches that I've tried. My only reservation is that the planned cost when they start charging is more than I want to spend, but in the meantime, I'm really enjoying the search. It's the first non-google search engine where I'm not using !g or equivalent 20% of the time.
