Kagi’s pretty good and has a Fediverse search feature, but it’s paid. I don’t mind paying, but there’s also no way to do private searches that way, so I’m not going to use it as my main search engine. It’s been good at hunting down memes on Lemmy that I want to find again though.

You might already know this, but you can use a kagi without logging in private tabs using a “Session link.” (Of course, this session link is not perfectly anonymous or anything because the token is presumably tied to your account.)

the token is completely tied to your account.

you can access part of your account info/settings with that as well, a while back they added an extra password prompt to some of that.

truly anonymous searches are simply impossible unfortunately. while they claim they’re not logging any searches it’s impossible to verify.

Right, and for me personally that’s fine. I respect that others have different requirements or desires in that regard.

I’m trying out yacy and it’s hitting the same spot. My only issue is self hosting seems to not work well for yunohost so I may need to find a way to run it alternatively somehow.

I think the there might be some “goggles” for searching via brave that limit things to the Fediverse, that might be worth checking out :)
