I always thought that people using searx etc over duckduckgo were just gluttons for punishment. Having gone an entire morning without search, maybe now is the time to dive down that rabbit hole...
Seems like most search engines these days are primarily Google-based or Bing-based. Mojeek has its own crawler, I think...
Kagi.com has its own I believe. But you have to pay a subscription to use it.
My understanding is that Kagi relies on the likes of Bing and Google but since it uses more than one of them it can keep functioning if one goes down.
TIL. I thought they had their own crawler. I’m a little disappointed.
They do both, their own index focuses on the "small web", more info here:
