In case you thought Duckduckgo was the answer, it isn't. They manipulate results for political reasons too.

If you click the link the article suggests Brave search as a good alternative.

I almost think a better alternative to a search engine is a site like this. Let me explain. All of us already have our go-to sources for tech news, world news, politics, etc., and we post things here from those websites. In a sense, we have a search engine right here, and a lot of the stuff we'd like to or need to know anyway can be found here, or found on any of the websites we already have catalogued for personal use.

Everything else? Email. Texting. Texting photos of the dog to family on a cell phone. Etc. Does that make sense, or is it too limiting?

Sure. Normies add "reddit" to their searches to find human answers as opposed to corporate marketing content now because of how useless Google has become. They're pretty much doing what you say, only with reddit instead of saidit.

There is plenty of legit stuff here that would get deleted on Reddit and deboosted on Google or DDG. It is a resource to leverage.
