  • Gigablast

    Nov 20 2017 -- A distributed open source search engine and spider/crawler written in C/C++ for Linux on Intel/AMD. From gigablast dot com, which has binaries for download. See the README.md file at the very bottom of this page for instructions.

  • Gigablast - A search engine whose source code is available on Github. TMK, it doesn't depend on any existing indexes either and uses its own crawler. Would be what I'd recommend to everyone but they recently collaborated with a company that has a questionable past to create a privacy focused search engine. A company that was behind the hostile takeover of Freenode IRC.

  • duckduckgo-locales

    Translation files for <a href="https://duckduckgo.com"> </a>

  • DuckDuckGo & Co. - DDG, Swisscows and Ecosia all use Bing index. For people that only care about privacy, this is a non-issue. But I don't like the idea that the entirety of web currently depends on just two companies. So I personally don't use them. Same logic extends to Startpage, which is owned by an ad company & uses Google's results. As they rely on the Big 2, they're closer to frontends/MetaSearch engines in behavior.
