@santiago@capitaobviodev Buscadores diversos, há. O problema é o custo de sair visitando cada página por aí e indexando, por isso há um certo oligopólio. Outro alternativo de destaque é Brave Search.
Contudo, por enquanto, para ter os melhores resultados e ainda não ficar escravo de software privativo de liberdade, que infelizmente ainda é o caso de DDG e creio que também o do Brave, o contorno é usar um metabuscador como #4get ou #SearXNG. Uma exemplar instância é mantida por @cadusilva 👏

>have been seeing the worse results from duckduckgo
We're not the only ones who have been complaining about this recently. I was very happy with DDG for years and I still really like the fact that I can search the Free Software Directory by adding !fsd to my keywords. But their general search results have gone massively downhill in the last year or two, and I blame Bing.
#Gigablast ← does their own crawling, but what happened?.. they were dissolved last year & seem to now be www.alltheinternet.com
#Ombrelo ← a proxy but more advanced than the others (filters/downranks Cloudflare sites)
#YaCy is notable because it’s a crawler that you can install and operate yourself. YaCy instances can be public-facing and they can also share indexes with each other fedi style apparently. Some Searx instances tap YaCy instances.
I would love to find a searx or 4get instance that rejects the tech giants, but aggregates from YaCy, mojeek, gigablast, metager, maginalia.nu, frogfind.com, & wiby.me.
And I would love it even more if it would make replacements:
