wiby.me is full of html only websites and interesting things I haven't seen from google.
duckduckgo is privacy focused and doesn't try to curate results according to your search history. But its still not quite as good as google for finding things.
Is there any search engine you can unironically use as a substitute to google or are we pretty much stuck with them forever?

I believe they are not too concerned about privacy there, how can the search engine refuse to comply with local law about keeping logs?
https://searx.laquadrature.net/
(Searx 0.13.1, searx.me is 0.14)
La Quadrature fights for privacy and freedom, though it suffers from being hosted in France if I'm not wrong.
Basically anything in Europe has law about keeping logs. And RGPD which says to not keep them too long and secure them, but whatever, they still have to keep logs.

I made this awhile back, it's a wrapper around qwant's unofficial api, it's similar to searx in that it strips headers down to bare minimum and doesn't have any js, canvasing etc. Unlikely to be finished due to my growing disgust with C, but still functional, I use it as my daily search engine. Unlike searx it's mostly meant to run on localhost. The source is attached, download mongoose and jsmn, if you're on openbsd in mongoose.c comment out:
mbuf_init(&ctx->psk, 0);
if (mg_ssl_if_ossl_set_psk(ctx, params->psk_identity, params->psk_key) !=
MG_SSL_OK) {
MG_SET_PTRPTR(err_msg, "Invalid PSK settings");
return MG_SSL_ERROR;
}
and the functions ``static unsigned int mg_ssl_if_ossl_psk_cb and ``static enum mg_ssl_if_result mg_ssl_if_ossl_set_psk
compile with something along these lines swapping variables and locations to suite your needs:
libs="-lssl -lcrypto -lpthread"
cc -L/usr/local/lib $1 -DSSL_PEM_FILE=\"server.pem\" -DSSL_KEY_FILE=\"server.key\" -DSERVICE_PORT=\"8000\" jsmn/jsmn.c mongoose/mongoose.c -DMG_ENABLE_SSL $libs
No one is really expected to use this, but if someone wants to take it and run with it they're welcome to.
Also 8chan/tech/ doesn't let you post text files, or multiple files without js, so I'm just going to link the files from when I originally posted this awhile back.

Google is literally more censored than Baidu. Anything worth searching for is blocked and top results are all scam companies that paid to be on top. They sort results based on payments received, not relevance.

Are you just making that up? Because I know quite a bit about SEO and to my knowledge, it's not possible to simply 'pay to be on top'. You can pay a team of professionals to optimise your site for SEO, and it may or may not be effective, but you can't just pay Google to show your site as the first result. I've literally never even heard of this before.

I really like wiby and I have recommended it here a few times. Using it for the first time felt like momentarily going back to the past. It's especially good if you like Links2 or even w3m. The web is so fucked that you don't get a whole lot of results a lot of the time, but there is also the benefit of accidentally finding cool websites that have been up for a long time. It feels pretty good, though it can be depressing as well since it's a reminder of how things should still be. Normal search engines are all about making the internet more and more corporate and hiding people's personal websites, that are always becoming more uncommon to begin with. If anything, their purpose is to prevent honest communication, at this point. The opposite of the internet's intended purpose.

Nö, nicht mehr unter https. Die komplette Anfrage (mit Ausnahme der Domain) wird verschlüsselt übertragen. Das ist bei allen Webseiten so, die https verwenden.
Würde man die Suchparameter per POST senden, würde man die Daten nur innerhalb des verschlüsselten Blocks verschieben. Allerdings kann dein Browser POST-Requests nicht so gut cachen. In Wirklichkeit ist das ganze noch ein wenig komplizierter, aber das reicht erstmal.

But do check whose certificate it is. If it's a cloud provider, it's botnet. If it's DigiNotar, it's botnet (and update your computer because those certificates have been untrusted for 8 years). If it's LetsEncrypt, it's probably fine.

google is "good at finding things" because it collects your data and shows results based on that data instead of just showing some random sites that contain the words you were searching for.
▶ No.1022596>>1022625
>>1022595
It isn't even that good at finding things because they interfere with their system to censor some results/promote others that have bought a higher place in the search results, making it more difficult to find some niche stuff or that may be somewhat controversial. If they at least let it be a pure botnet that works entirely from the data they steal from everyone, but no, it's not just botnet, it's commie botnet.
