A new study by German researchers found that Google Search is plagued with SEO spam.

A year long study shows what you’ve suspected: Google Search is getting worse.::undefined

I’m interested in self hosted web search engines to run at home instead of using Google is SearXNG a good replacement or are there other better suggestions?

Other than self hosting a search engine what are some good web search providers? Most of my device browsers list the following default options:

  • Google
  • Yahoo
  • Bing
  • DuckDuckGo
  • Ecosia

Yes, SearXNG is a good self-hosted replacement.
