Which search engine is better?
>Startpage
Use google search, servers located in EU
>DDG
Better UI, has bangs functionality
So far I have been using DDG with the !iq bang when I haven't found the result I am looking for. What do you guys use?

Even if you're not a duck duck go privacy advocate, the bang functionality is I sexy as fuck
!Wikipedia serial over lan
!urbandictionary poo in loo
!Google what I couldn't find on ddg
Honestly DDG is phenomenal
>>54896590
wasn't DDG started by a guy who had run a pretty un-privacy-respecting site in the past that profiled people from scraped info?
searx.me, all you ever need

FuckFuckNo is prorietary and located in the US (easy for the NSA to infiltrate). The owner previously ran a datamining company.
Haven't heard bad things about startpage, but I prefer searx since it's completely free software with shitloads of forks and also has an .onion service.

The instant answers are nice too.
DDG works perfectly for 95% of my regular searches but for very specific searches like problems with a library for a programming language I just use Google.

If you are not aware, !w is wikipedia, !ud is urban dictionary and !g is google
I personally quite like !aw -arch wiki !a - amazon and of course wikipedia

Startpage
Use YaCy, is a self hosted search engine!

Wait, is searx a meme?
