Not a technical person, as I understand it, Google and Bing are full search engines while options like Seaexng, Ecosia, Duckduckgo are meta search engine that depend on Google or Bing. Are there other search engines that are fully independent, and if there aren’t, what are the barriers that stop other search engines from emerging
I’ve been using Lite Duckduckgo. It gives 10 text link per page. No video, shorts, pictures, ads. Just link. Someone on lemmy mentioned it and I’ve been using it since.
DDG uses Bing though and doesn’t have its own index.
That’s a good thing to know about!
