Pretty much the only alternative to Google Search is Bing. That's even what DuckDuckGo uses behind the scenes.

Does this actually work though? Wouldn't the major search engines more or less look at the same information?

Or is there some thing that causes Bing to show different results? Perhaps the scammers build a network that targets google because it's bigger?

I’ve been using Yandex more and more. Better search results, less censorship. Thanks, Rooskies!

Yandex reminds me of what Google was like in the early 2010s. It just gives me the results of the search term I put in.

Google increasingly thinks it knows better than me what I'm looking for.
