I've been using this search engine and I have to say I'm absolutely in love with it.

Search results are great, Google level even. Can't tell you how happy I am after trying multiple privacy oriented engines and always feeling underwhelmed with them.

Have you tried it? What are your thoughts on it?

I have been using it since September and enjoy it. (Paid with crypto of course)

From my brief interactions with the dev I believe they're doing things the very hard way when it comes to indexing.

It might be the only choice once AI poisoning becomes prolific. It's already corrupted the niche topics and soon it may overwhelm the topics with more human eyes on it.

startpage is already on google level and the defaults of some searxng instances are better the google results

It's great using their Fastgpt which gives accurate results from various forums and websites, where other gpt based search engines lack. And got to try their Summarizer.

I recommend to use it as Secondary source (with tempmails) and Primary remains SearX for sure.

How is map searching/integration?

[-] Atemu@lemmy.ml 2 points 9 months ago

It's Apple maps. It works but it's not great.

Do they have an android app? I haven't been able to find anything that looks trustworthy

I just added the search engine to my browser. I don't see the need for an app when all of the results are going to open in the browser anyways.
