I've been using Startpage and, much less, Duckduckgo.

This new one looks potentially better:

They claim to have less subjective search results than Goog and the like.
If you've done any reading about Goog's new algorithms, that might be of interest.

Yeah, since G and YT are one thing, that doesn't surprise me.

See how it goes.

From the about page:

For this purpose, we pull results from many search engines
simultaneously, and assess the neutrality of these sources

And how do they do that?

I didn't, but I remember Google doing some fakery last year with
their search results. They don't seem trustworthy any more.

It's a silly auto complete suggestion, but it's what people ask,
or were asking so why interfere with it? Should they remove all
suspicious, dubious suggestions based on questions that people
might ask on every subject, regarding every group?

Dumb, slutty blondes, aggressive pit bulls, radical Muslims,
Mexican rapists etc?

In the end you have censorship and fake news.

And they do try to go into some extremely limited detail focused more on
silencing valid criticism than providing any detail. Notably filled with
spelling and grammar errors. Is this open source?

Dunno. How's your luck with a Googie search these days?

I'll continue to look for close-to-the-source information.

From a meta search engine?

Maybe you understand search engines and their algos better than me.

That is certainly possible!

Sorry, but we need the most popular search engine to develop Ava!

that's why numerous sources (or an unbiased search engine) are a
necessary alternative.

...and, curiously, since Googie's very recent algorithm change (called 'Fred',
I believe), it has gotten much more difficult to find both sites and
decent, unburied search results...

surely a coincidence.
