The best private search engines to use in 2022
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on LinkedinShare on Whatsapp

Today, search engines have become so widespread and pervasive that it is difficult to picture our existence without them. Google and Bing are household names and essential components of daily Internet use. These engines give you fast access to any information you want, whenever and wherever you want.

If current statistics are to be accepted, Google has approximately 4 billion users globally.

However, search engines such as Google and Bing have earned infamy in recent years due to their dubious privacy-invading practices. Many individuals have expressed their displeasure with these engines tracking their internet search behavior.

Without further ado, here are some search engines that will make your browsing as easy as possible.

DuckDuckGo

DuckDuckGo is the greatest search engine when you need optimal privacy for searches you do. For many years, it has been a well-known search engine provider that does not track its users. DuckDuckGo servers will not save either search records or IP addresses. DuckDuckGo is the outcome of a community effort to create a search engine that is totally anonymous. If you are interested, you can join the DuckDuckGo community and participate in its activities.

When it comes to search engine experience, DuckDuckGo is both easy and effective. It is entirely up to you whether or not to permit adverts; even when ads are present, results are neatly organized. DuckDuckGo collaborates with Yahoo and has added various features. Smarter Search, for example, provides you with answers immediately.

StartPage

StartPage bills itself as the world’s most private search engine. It means that when you use StartPage to search for something, your information will not be revealed. The best thing about StartPage is that it isn’t a new search engine with restricted crawling capabilities.

StartPage, on the other hand, displays an upgraded version of Google SERP. You will receive all of the benefits of Google Search while avoiding monitoring and spying.

StartPage, as a search engine, has interesting features. To begin with, the search engine results are presented in a simple format, with little room for customization. All you can do is filter results based on when they were published. Having said that, you have the option of conducting a sophisticated search. Overall, StartPage is one of the top ten advanced search engines for those who value efficiency and simplicity.

Hulbee

Among the many search engines available, Hulbee is one of the top 10 alternative search engines for Google and is known for its privacy protection and efficacy.

When you use Hulbee.com for searching, neither your IP address nor any other personally identifiable information is collected by the servers. You can also be protected from other forms of privacy-invading advertising. For example, you can avoid cookies, geo-targeting, and even those annoying government requests. Unless anything extremely serious is at stake, Hulbee.com will not share the information to any government.

The search result interface is very nice. Hulbee pages include not only simple results, but also additional alternatives such as ‘Shopping’ and ‘Music.’ It even has a dedicated music player for playing music found via search.

Searx

Searx is free software with 100% open source code, allowing anyone to contribute to its improvement. It is a metasearch engine, which means it aggregates and mixes results from popular search engines.

Searx strips away all identifying information from your request, allowing Google, Yahoo, and other search engines to receive the search query as an anonymous request. It is built with open-source software and its source code is available on Github. It does not save any information about your search and never shares it with a third party.

Its purpose is to provide the user with a decentralized view of the Internet. The search engine has a bare-bones appeal, providing users with nothing more than a large search bar into which to enter their queries.

The engine also has a number of useful preferences and configuration options, making it more adaptable. It is also extremely fast, returning relevant results for your queries in an instant. You can also alter this engine and run it on your server as your own personal search engine.

Qwant

Qwant is a search engine that prioritizes privacy by neither recording its users’ search queries or selling their personal information to advertising. The search engine, which originated in France, has a simple, user-friendly layout.

The engine divides your results into three categories: news, social, and web. It also employs AI to provide its customers with a dedicated music section designed specifically to assist music fans in discovering new songs and lyrics.

Scrolling down below the search box will bring you to a section dedicated to hot trends. You may gain fast access to current world events here. There is also a Qwant Junior area devoted to youngsters.

Quant provides: no tracking search, a dedicated music and children section, automatic categorization of search results, and a clean and easy user interface.
