if you looking for a good alternative for google search, try "SearXNG" (lemmy.ca)

actually awesome and fast search engine (depending on which instance you use) with no trashy AI and ADs results also great for privacy, if you don't know which instance to use go to https://searx.space/ and choose an instance closest to you

It's pretty nice. The REST API for running searches makes running SearxNG worth it, if nothing else.

Could you elaborate on what you mean by that?
