Many of us have been blogging about open source investigation into search alternatives and boycott Google in hopes to find some gems.
We know about DuckDuckGo, ixquick, and startpage, but they have their limits too.
I'm not sure what happened to scroogle, but as conspiracy research and more individuals are searching for alternatives to the official stories, in the quest to reveal deception the need for more search engines that offers results to independent sources outside of the mainstream narrative.
Someone who appear to be in the Libre-GNU camp mentioned these:
https://metager.de/en available at https://gitlab.metager3.de/open-source/MetaGer .
If you look at the code could you share your critique as a free search engine?
Then he also mentioned a non-free https://www.qwant.com because of its sorting algorithms don't “put websites forward or to hide others based on commercial, political or moral interests.”
The lists are growing on blogs but I thought to ask here in case you see something new or under development.
Searx is a free metasearch engine, available under the GNU Affero General Public License version 3, with the aim of protecting the privacy of its users.To this end, Searx does not share users' IP addresses or search history with the search engines it gathers results from. Tracking cookies served by the search engines are blocked, preventing user-profiling-based results modification.By default, Searx queries are submitted via HTTP POST, to prevent users' query keywords from appearing in webserver logs.[18] Searx was inspired by the Seeks project,[19] though it does not implement Seeks' peer-to-peer user-sourced results ranking.
Each search result is given as a direct link to the respective site, rather than a tracked redirect link as used by Google. In addition, when available, these direct links are accompanied by "cached" and/or "proxied" links that allow viewing results pages without actually visiting the sites in question. The "cached" links point to saved versions of a page on archive.org, while the "proxied" links allow viewing the current live page via a Searx-based web proxy. In addition to the general search, the engine also features tabs to search within specific domains: files, images, IT, maps, music, news, science, social media, and videos.
Along with the most well-known instance at https://searx.me/, Searx also features dozens of user-run instances at their own URLs.A service called Searxes can be used to search a different random Searx instance with each query.Searx.me is also available as a Tor hidden service. A public API is available

--Not Evil ( a parody of Google but nevertheless an efficient SE)

Thanks Mangy Dog
Yes Searx is already on the list, I'll add the others and look into them.
My Abrowser search engine list is growing and I hope everyone's list grows too.
Here is my most recent blog entry about this list:

Seeks is a websearch proxy and collaborative distributed tool for websearch.

Searching with other Search Engines that respect privacy & user freedom, GPL Licensed rather than the obvious ones is a good idea, one has to keep in mind that a secure & up to date browser with security bug fixes is important too.

I used .me only briefly couple years ago, but I have used extensively several instances of it, searX FTW
I can recommend search.disroot.org and citizen-cam.de in particular, very nice default settings and low ping, smooth and sexy :P
