Overview:

The community dedicated to boycotting the US until they stop fascism, restore full democracy and start following international law.

Americans have a moral obligation to resist Donald Trump and project 2025 at every turn.

America is a flawed democracy currently being ruled by oligarchs. Stop the backslide! Dont let America become the next Hungary.

America needs to challenge the court rulings of citizens united v. fec and shelby county v. holder, protect the media, implement independent district drawing, and the single transferable vote so they don't end up having people stay home in life-changing elections because they cannot vote for their favourite candidate.

Where are we on Search Engines? (lemmy.ca)

So I've tried out a few search engines but no matter where I look I can't find a great answer.

Qwant was decent for a bit but as I eventually found out they don't use their own index.
SearXNG, same as above.
Mojeek was one of the first I went with but I often can't find what I'm looking for when using it.
Wikipedia gives me YaCy, Exalead, Opensearch, Gigablast, and Elasticsearch but either I can't find the URL's for them or they require I install something on my computer.

What did you all end up picking? And does it even matter if the back-end is American owned, do American companies make money from that (or does that give them inordinate control)?

Literally, yes. They are engines that search data. You could index the web on them if you really wanted.

As to how they are used, correctly or not, I consider them closer to databases than "search engines" in the context of this post.

Seeing ES or OS in the same category as Gigasearch needed some distinction though.
