"Alternatives like Searx or YaCy all fucking sucks so I made my own thing." (about 4get)

damn. based.

what's with that? without mentioning why they suck, that's just the ol' "trust me, bro"

Too bad it still sucks.

As a test, I searched Google for "headphone jack" site:lemmy.ml and got 18 results, whereas I got only two results with 4get (DuckDuckGo), and zero results on all the other engines (Brave etc).

For a meta search engine, it's surprising that it doesn't support searching Google for web results.
