A lot of the snooping does have an actual role with search - they need to guess the intended domain of the query [1]

Welcome to my side project, a better organized directory of domain specific search engines, based on duckduckgo !bang operators https://github.com/MoserMichael/duckduckbang/blob/master/REA...

Ideally this directory/thesaurus should help you to find a domain specific search engine, without the need of snooping on the part of the search engine. I also auto translated this directory into several languages.

[1] of course they also need the snooping for targeted advertising, but that's a different story!)

I have a catalog of duckduckgo !bang operators; a script is using google translate to translate the UI and site descriptions into several languages; it is better than nothing, but it is not an ideal solution.

I didn't manage to automate the use of DeepL in python;

I think that specialised search engines are gaining ground, it has become easier to set one up, thanks to elasticsearch/lucene. They can be quite good, for a limited domain, and they don't have to invade your privacy in order to find out what you are looking for. I think that what is missing are tools like this, that would aid the discovery and use of these search engines. I hope that this will allow them to eat into the market from the 'low end'.

Unfortunately they don't invest too much into !bang operators at duckduckgo, however that's my input data...

taking care of google ;-) I have a catalog of duckduckgo !bang operators https://mosermichael.github.io/duckduckbang/html/main.html - i hope that it allows for better discoverability of specialized search engines. The latest feature added is a description for each search engine, just hover over the name, and you get a description derived from the sites meta and title tags.
