Here is a list of regular Clearnet Search Engines

Friendly Search Engines

Random SearX

This Engine redirects every search to a different SearX server, decentralizing your usage. It may be a honeypot itself, but it allows you to use most available Engines evenly and makes you untrackable for Google & Co.

Random SearX Images:

Random SearX Videos:

Random SearX Files:

Random SearX Maps (usefulness questionable):

https://searx.neocities.org/#q=%s&category_maps=on

this can go on... Choose tags that all SearX instances support. Some are very specific

NOTE: Every instance chooses their crawled engines differently, so you may get unpleasing results. You may prefer having one instance with saved settings, enabled and disabled search engines.

Configure your favourite SearX instance

Pick any SearX or SearXNG instance you want (searx.space)

Set your settings and either save the Cookies for this site (allow cookies for the Site in the Firefox Privacy settings) or copy the custom URL

Startpage

this one is more complicated, as you can store the settings in the URL but this only works using the less secure "GET" method. (Wikipedia)

the default URL:

https://www.startpage.com/sp/search?query=%s

Under Settings you can add a custom region, Language, disable ads or censored mode:

  1. Open settings
  2. Change what you want
  3. Choose "GET" instead of "POST"
  4. Copy the URL on the right panel
  5. Add &query=%s to the beginning of the URL

example:

https://www.startpage.com/sp/search?query=%s&abp=-1&t=dark&lui=english&cat=web

Mullvad Leta

Only for Mullvad Customers, restricted to 50 searches a day. They have "search in Cache" mode, which is on by default, but this cache is deleted after 30 days so its not very useful for most results. Google API queries cost money so searching in cache is a good possibility, but you need to disable the tick every time, which is annoying.

No cache:

Privacy frontends

Icon

Prefer using Libredirect instead of those, as you will pick random instances and decentralize your usage.
