I have used SearXNG for a while, but I switched to LibreX after the search engine started glitching. Recently, though, LibreX has stopped returning any results. I am currently on Mojeek, but the results aren’t that great.

I have also tried Qwant, but I wasn’t too keen on it. Startpage will be impractical, as I use a VPN and this engine often blocks me because of it. I don’t want to use Brave Search for a number of reasons. MetaGer has too many important features behind its paywall. I’m not sure about DuckDuckGo, but I could use it if there was no other option.

Any suggestions, or am I being too picky?

    They ask a bit of trust on that, but their FAQ also has an appeal to reason:

    I have privacy concerns over linking my search queries with my credit card. Why should I trust you?

    We do not log search queries. Queries you type are never associated with your account. The simple reason is we don’t have any reason to do so, as it would only be a liability for us. We are in the business of selling search results, not user data.

    (For the record, I use Kagi)

      That’s asking for a hell of a lot of trust in them… wouldn’t be the first, or last, time companies lie about these things.
