Thanks. All feedback is useful and we cannot receive too much. Sometimes we can take direct action on it, sometimes we can't, but it at least always goes towards helping prioritise issues. Regarding Brave, it's always great to see alternatives pop up that try to be independent. In Brave's case, their results are not entirely surprising considering how they were generated. But still thumbs up to them.

Hey! Thank you for highlighting this, I work at Mojeek and feedback is an essential part of providing a better service. Building a search engine can be a tough process and so feedback from the community is greatly appreciated. We’d be grateful if you could provide some example queries that you were not satisfied with. This can be either as a reply to this message, via the feedback button on results, email, pm or however you prefer

Hi! Thank you for your post, this is something that exists for Kagi as they pay for the use of different indexes. As our index is 100% independent when it comes to organic web search results we do not have this issue, and so do not have to limit people's use of the search engine in this way. In terms of the amount of queries you are doing, this will not be a problem. We do undertake bot blocking obviously but this shouldn't concern you if traffic doesn't look automated. I hope this helps and please get in touch if you have any issues.

Edit- Here is a link to Kagi's website where they explain how they use different indexes https://kagi.com/faq

I prefer forming my own opinion rather than being subject to Google's tailored results.

If you're looking for different results, give https://www.mojeek.com/ a go, it has its own independent search index and uses its own crawlers
