I'm looking for a new search engine, what's the best one out there right now?
@jonah i use startpage and duckduckgo. but i would also like to know if there are better alternatives
@absturztaube those are the two I hear the most... I've used DDG in the past but their results aren't the best IMO (although I do love their "opennic servers" instant answer).
I haven't tried Startpage yet, is it any good? I'm not sure if I totally trust them, but user consensus seems to be they're OK.
@jonah i don't trust startpage more than i trust ddg. startpage is simple and has no special features (like the instant answers of ddg) but it does its job IMO.
@jonah there is also searx which looks quite interesting. but i haven't tried it out yet so i can't tell you, if it is any good

It's more trustworthy than DDG (it's not based in the US), but I would be lying if I said it was easy to read through the results.

@FriendlyGecko @jonah ya, it's sketchy that ddg is us based. i only use it in terminal based browsers since the lite version of it works pretty well in w3m or lynx
