I’m looking for something that just gives good results with their own engine, not proxying google or yahoo, without LLMs being involved.
I’ve used startpage and have my own searxng instance self hosted. But both use mostly google results with just a nicer frontend.
I was looking Kagi as an alternative. But they seemed to move to become another AI company, bundling their subscription to the search engine with a subscription to an LLM, so I’m not paying for that.


AI summaries will eventually leak false information into your brain, even if you don’t expand it.
The Internet’s been doing that for decades, it’s fine.
It’s true. Message board are known to hallucinate content.
