That’s why all the top results on every search are actual results, instead of a bunch of ads.
Totally worth it.

They don’t keep a search history. Your searches aren’t tied to anything, because they aren’t even saved. They don’t have any reason to save them since they aren’t selling any targeted ads.

This was my understanding as well. It’s the point of paying. However , it is just “trust me bro” right? It’s not like they’ve been audited for not storing user data? Even just basic logging too could hold user info. Honestly no idea with paid search engines, I know so little.

It’s always the same story: are confident are you that this is true?

SearXNG has a the same functionality as well for free: Image
You can self-host it or use one of the publicly available instances.

I wasn’t able to find an option to use Lemmy search an several public instances. Do you know an instance that supports this?
macattack@lemmy.world 10 months ago
I am self hosting my version so that is where my screenshot came from.
If I were looking for a public instance to use that has this functionality, I’d look to some of the European hosts as they are less likely to use Reddit as their de facto platform relative to Americans

Does self-hosting with those extensions require a lot of system resources?

That’s great! I had no idea you could specifically search for lemmy content in search engines (albeit niche).
