Hi everyone, so I hear that a lot of are lost in choosing a good search engine apart from the popular ones, but I think I have the solution
The search engine I’ve been using on all my devices is named “Qwant” its French and of course European. Its private and fast, I’ve been using it and didn’t had any issues with it.
So yes I am also new here on Lemmy and just wanted to be useful.
As I understand, it’s no small task to build or maintain a working search index. There’s a reason it’s mostly been huge, corporate entities that take on the challenge, and why smaller search providers tend to rely on preexisting ones.
So I applaud Qwant and Ecosia on their initiative, but also understand that it may take a while before it bears fruit.
