Search Engines - Web Search

It seems like no matter which search engine I use, I no longer get the amount of 'natural' results like I used to.
Especially if I am looking for personal homepages, blogs, or streaming sites.
All of these culprits seem to repeat the same corporates hits, page after page after page:
Brave
Duck Duck Go
Google etc

Does anyone have a good recco for a web search which actually gives unique hits, like back in the day?

Hm Yandex seems to have more hard to find content.

Any recommendations?

There's one I've been using called Swisscows -

It's not too bad, though not quite as good as it was when I first found out about it..

Thank you!
I guess when you find a really good gem you better bookmark because now I can't find some stuff I had before.

You gotta understand now a days...these comps all own or are subscribed by the very same corps. Phones, tv, ISP, everything. Even the companies they advertise...many are equally owned by them.

But, you will get some great ideas here.

I hope I will....

I just read today that Yandex is shifting out of Russia or trying to- due to the sanctions and crap so I wonder if their more (actual) liberal / free search results will become a thing of the past.

I use yandex... It is decent... I compare the same searches on other browsers and it is definetly better.... But not good enough

For a search engine you might try Yahoo Japan. www.yahoo.co.jp...

Just use the translator of your choice. Using it on your cell phone is more popular then google search. That should tell you something.

Google: 76.14%
Yahoo! Japan: 16.64%
bing: 6.6%
DuckDuckGo: 0.31%
Baidu: 0.15%
Yandex.ru: 0.05%
Others: 0.11%

Although there seems to be a concern that the above may not be that accurate. I know most of my Japanese friends here always use Yahoo Japan as their search engine. I actually really don't know anyone using google for their main search engine.

Wow...you gotta ways yet! There ARE NO really FREE search results. The "man", TPTB, NWO owns all the stuff.

Lesson 1: Congrats! Youre learning. Believe nothing, question everything.
