Recently I'm interested in decentralized technologies such as Kbin from Reddit. And I wonder what about search engine.

Is there any ones, and how about them actually? (for example YaCy P2P search engine I've heard but not try yet)

presearch.io is decentralized, but I don't use it very often, so it may be a bad recommendation.

Bleh, presearch is tied to crypto nonsense. I think something like YaCy is a more viable project. I can't say if one is better than the other functionally, but I feel like anyone trying to get away from Google is doing it because of the excessive monetization messing with their searches, to then switch to something built to prop up a token/coin seems a bit strange imo.

Presearch and PRE are related, but you can use the search engine without any interaction with PRE.

Presearch has been my default search engine for over a year. It is a functional replacement for Google, but not without its quirks. Image searches are vastly better on Google in my experience. And I still search frequently on Google Maps for data that is heavily influenced by location.
