There is only one search engine in Europe that ONLY serves results from their own crawlers: https://www.mojeek.com/

All the others (qwant, startpage, swisscows . . ) merge results from Bing or Google or Brave.

Be warned: you will NOT get the same search results with mojeek . .

At least until Qwant and Ecosia finish their European Index, slated to start rolling out this year.

Hear, hear. Honestly it's not particularly good as a search engine - but it does give you very different results

Thanks for the info! Added to the database.

According to their FAQ they use the search index of Brave. The company is based in San Francisco.

Ah, sad to hear.

Also FYI, your content got tagged as German, you might want to check your account settings: https://feddit.nl/post/29633145

Thanks for the hint. I‘m still very new here.

No worries, trying to help. The platform has some quirks. Feel free if you have questions, here are a few pointers that can help you settle in

Never heard of them either. Slightly disappointed that they redirect to google-maps instead of a more free alternative. Will check them out though.

Nice, might give this a try. Currently using Kagi, which works great, but is American and much more expensive.
