Mojeek is the most independent search engine on this list. It runs its own crawler and builds its own index of billions of pages from the ground up. It owes nothing to Google or Bing. It keeps no logs, stores no IP addresses and builds no profiles. The company is based in the UK. The cost of that approach is coverage. Its index is smaller than Google’s. Obscure or very recent queries can come back thin. It’s the pick when independence from Big Tech counts for more than sheer depth.

Strengths

  • Own crawler and fully independent index, not reliant on Google or Bing
  • No logging, no IP storage, no tracking, no profiles
  • Free to use

Considerations

  • Smaller index than Google, so niche or very recent queries can lag
