It is becoming near impossible to find relevant information from search engines. Duckduckgo, SearXNG, Bing, Google, and so many more mainstream engines have a significantly high noise to signal ratio, and it is getting worse.

Here are a collection of the best search engines I know, please add more to the list.

If no more high quality search engines exist, would it be possible to host your own?

    Kagi isn’t homophobic. Apparently the “controversy” is that it employs brave search as well; which is indeed made by a company with a homophobic ceo.

    Though by that logic virtually everyone in the world is. Because at some point in time, in some place, someone built a piece of modern civilization upon knowledge or resources belonging to a homophobic person, I’m fairly sure.

      No, that’s a seperate controversy. The Kagis owners views became talked about a lot more during that event though.

      So many people here are quick to defend and normalise homophobia, yet refuses to just use an open source free alternative that’s without this baggage.

        Are you sure none of the developers of the open source free alternative aren’t homophobic, transphobic, or in some other way bad people?
