searxng VS whoogle-search

searx.tiekoetter.com

The solution you need is SearxNG. Here's one public instace that you can use to look at Google's search results.

Initially I was using https://searx.tiekoetter.com which works perfect on mobile but google seems to have removed results from it now

This one caught my eye, it has a lot of redirect for private front-ends, but like I said, it's hosted by the same person too.

Search engines for the clearnet: SearX (Instance example: https://searx.tiekoetter.com), Startpage.

i use a wikipedia mirror cause i didnt bother changing my search engine ( https://searx.tiekoetter.com ) to not redirect there. its not more reliable (in fact its less) because it fetches the data from wikipiedia each time, but its theoretically more private. i dont care about that though im just lazy.

You can use Duck Duck go or Startpage if you want, I use Searx public instances (e.g. https://searx.be/search ; https://searx.tiekoetter.com/ ; https://search.sapti.me/search). All public instances can be found here.

This instance I personally use but you must select fast engines.

Google Search → Whoogle

Google Search → Whoogle

I deployed whoogle search at home. For laptops it is rather easy to define it as the default search for alfred and the respective browser, but for iOS devices I have not found a way (except some rather clunky and intrusive extensions) to change the default search engine beyond what Apple tells you. Is there a way to to this via pfSense or pihole? So whenever someone searches in the address bar in safari on iOS that pfSense redirects that search to the whoogle URL?

I host an instance of Whoogle Search that I use and never looked back. It's like someone brought Google back to the golden age. No (direct) tracking, no ads, complete control over the results.
