I'd rather keep it on Google Search, simply because it's the only search that actually seems to broadly work. I've tried using others from time to time (e.g. DuckDuckGo! is a common one people bring up) and they're just bad. Sometimes I get no results, but a lot more often I get the *wrong* results. Frankly, I think we generally expect Google Search quality results, and nobody is quite to the level to replace it for the majority of cases. -- 真実はいつも一つ！/ Always, there's only one truth! -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner@opensuse.org

Personally, I LOVE the *idea* of this. I can't say I've heard of this particular engine, but I have heard of a number of others. Is there a particular reason why this one was selected over the other privacy focused engines? Please don't take this as disapproval - I'm ALWAYS in favor of anything that promotes privacy.

i think this is the best option assuming o-o uses a good instance or self hosts. Re. some of the current responses: Searx is a meta search engine and supports various search engines by default, including duckduckgo and google, among others. https://asciimoo.github.io/searx/admin/engines.html -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner@opensuse.org

Privacy is nice, but other engines I've used on multiple occasions are clearly inferior hit producers. Google is my goto, unless I know what I'm looking for is on Wikipedia or eBay. -- Evolution as taught in public schools is religion, not science. Team OS/2 ** Reg. Linux User #211409 ** a11y rocks!

How about telling how to set it up ourselves for testing now? :-) -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.1 x86_64 at Telcontar)
