Search engines down?

Ric0la@discuss.tchncs.de to Asklemmy@lemmy.ml – 258 points –

Is it just me or are many independent search engines down? Duckduckgo, my go to engine, qwant, ecosia, startpage... All down? The only hint I got was on the qwant page...

Edit: it all seems to be related to bing being down. I hope the independent engines will find a way to get really independent...

They all use Bing's, idk how i feel about that fact actually. Curious what you others use. Just as a thought experiment.

Been an avid ddg user but hate how it sometimes does push this micropoop nonsenses. Like msn news

I've been using Kagi, and although it has a pricetag, and not quite as good as Google, I am happy with it and has worked well for me.

I find it significantly better than Google. 90% of the time.
