   Brave Search is way better than other search engines.

   In contrast to other "private" search engines (except for Presearch and SearX), it doesn't have trackers, or not nearly as many. This information can be verified by installing uBlock Origin and ClearURLs, which detect 0 and 2 trackers respectively, against for example DuckDuckGo's nearly 10 and 19. Other alternatives are SearX (No trackers AT ALL, still kinda user-friendly) and Presearch (A bit easier to use but a tiny bit worse for privacy, it has 1 more tracking element).

   🏁 Competitors: DuckDuckGo, Mojeek, StartPage, Presearch, Searx, Google, Bing, Yahoo, Ecosia, Ask.com, Qwant

   👍 Pros:    Good search results|Not too many trackers|Not buggy|Easy to use

   👎 Cons:    Has 2 tracking url elements

• Microsoft outage affects Bing, Copilot, DuckDuckGo and ChatGPT internet search

  I was talking about Brave Search (https://search.brave.com), not Brave browser. Seaech doesn't promote crypto. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 month ago

• Microsoft outage affects Bing, Copilot, DuckDuckGo and ChatGPT internet search

  Brave rolled their own completely independent search [1] on what I assume is a relatively limited budget. It seems that regularly grabbing the data would be pretty easy. The harder part would be searching/ordering it in an efficient and meaningful way while avoiding SEO, but that seems more like a fun problem than a difficult one (if not both).

• Microsoft outage affects Bing, Copilot, DuckDuckGo and ChatGPT internet search

  Brave Search [1] is 100% independent. There's also Yandex [2] which also works excellently, but is biased towards more Russian language results. The image search is second to none though. [1] - https://search.brave.com/ [2] - https://yandex.com/. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 month ago

• Microsoft outage affects Bing, Copilot, DuckDuckGo and ChatGPT internet search

  Nice to see https://search.brave.com/, https://entireweb.com and https://mojeek.com are still kicking it. In case anyone needs to know alternatives besides the monopoly that is Google. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 month ago

• What Happened to DuckDuckGo?

  Https://search.brave.com/ using that as my default search engine on firefox since last year. Quite happy with the quality of results. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 month ago

• What GPT-based AI search tools does everyone use, or do you use ChatGPT alone?

  I'm going back and forth between ChatGPT itself, Bing AI (conversational with search results but often inaccurate) and Andi AI (more accurate and fast but skips using AI when it's not sure, and no follow up questioning). Source: about 1 year ago

• Neeva.com is shutting down June 2, 2023

  Andisearch.com - Interesting / Underdeveloped. Source: about 1 year ago

• Is there a browser reminiscent of a notebook?

  Like quirky and minimal, kind of like how google used to be. Right now I'm using andisearch.com and it's okay, but slow. Source: about 1 year ago

• What's a good Google search engine alternative?

  ** You could easily replace that with andisearch.com, which has a beautiful interface and uses A.I. To boot. I think the results also use Bing or Google, since they match. \\. Source: about 1 year ago

• What AI tools are you using for your every day?

  Apart from ChatGPT, I use Andi Search https://andisearch.com/ for looking up and researching companies for work. Unlike the search engine that sort of rhymes with 'noodle', it gives me the required information straight, no clickbait ads or irrelevant results. Source: about 1 year ago
