In my experience, Yandex has always been better for piracy than any other search engine.
Russian corps ain’t got no reason to protect “property rights” of some clown westoid corporate at their own expense
There is a benefit for US not controlling the entire world
Russia fucking sucks but this, at least, is true. (The West sucks too, don’t get me wrong. I ain’t going to Russia but i will use their search engine.)
Because the West aint getting the data from Russia. If you are Western I hope you dont end up in Russia and/or puppet states.
Bing no, duckduckgo yes.
yandex is pretty solid for finding media
duckduckgo seems to provide weird llm generated “summaries” instead of actual description recently though. I heard they come from Bing but not entirely sure.
Use searXNG with rotating instances and if anything Startpaage is everything you need. DuckDuckGo is not bad, but had some bad cases
Rotating instances? I love searx! So much better results than Duck
What is your use case, I 'm just simply interested.
My workflow for finding things, I know where I want to search it for, e.g. a torrent site or a specific forum or network, and search there. If I would search for something on a general search engine like those, even if it would give good results, I would have to weed out the fake and scam results. While if I search on an already reputable site or source I don’t have to deal with that.
movies, tv shows, things like that. I’m not American so search keeps suggesting things from my country and most of the time I only get “review/geek sites” when I search for something specific.
There are local trackers everywhere, try to get an invite to them. I’m Hungarian, we have several invite only trackers for dubbed movies and other local content. Even they are invite only, it’s really easy to get an invite as a lot of folks have account on them.
For that kind of content I would look for your local communities on reddit, fb or whatever social media is common in your country. Try to find out what others use, and try to get an invite there.
Fmhy has a list of non-english sources: https://fmhy.net/non-english
So you want to search or want suggestions? A good tracker also has suggestions. You should never need to search on a search engine and it would also be slower.
