Meta search engines:

• SearX

  Open source, self hostable meta search engine.

• SearXNG

  Better version of SearX. A list of SearX and SearXNG instances is available at searx.space

Also meta search engines, but different:

• DuckDuckGo

  It’s very privacy friendly, but it gets all the search results from Microsoft’s Bing.

• Startpage

  Basically the same thing but it uses Google results. They are really focused on privacy too, they even are on Mastodon: mastodon.social/

  They’re based in the EU (Netherlands) so they are also subject to the GDPR.

Independent:

• Brave Search

  They recently stopped using Google and Bing and created their own search index. It appears to be privacy friendly, but the company behind Brave is not ideal.

• Mojeek

  A small privacy focused search engine, that uses its own index. They’re also on Mastodon: mastodon.social/

• Kagi

  I’ve seen many many people recommend it, but I have never really used it myself. It’s not free, they charge $5/month for 300 searches and $10 for unlimited searches.
