Hrm I think it was… I haven’t kept up to date on it tho. duckduckgo has lots of problems too iirc. Basically searx is the only good one privacy-wise and its barely functional imo.
yup, unfortunately the search engine niche is in bad shape to say the least: duckduckgo has gaslighted everyone into believing they are private and even bullied the tor devs to use as default search engine somehow lol
There’s also Infinity Search which is completely libre, it’s based in the USA, but I think it’s a start and it’s way better than the rest of the competitors and more functional than Searx IMO, it has some usability issues but they aren’t that big of a deal.
