Searx – A privacy-respecting, hackable metasearch engine

     BTW does it support Altavista, WebCrawler, HotBot, or Lycos

I haven't heard of most of those, but AltaVista was acquired by Yahoo! and integrated into their platform in 2003. The brand has been all but defunct for over a decade now...

>haven't heard of most of those

I feel like I'm 120 years old in Internet years. I mean, I remember when there was no Internet :/

That's the joke. Those were meta search engines back in the day.

My favorite was Metasearch or Metacrawler or something like that. It would show you what other users were searching for in real time.

That was Metaspy, part of Metacrawler.
