Are you sure that ChatGPT is affected?

why do all these search engines use Microsoft? do they have the same results as bing?

Petter1 ,

Yes

I think ddg has some self-baked stuff but also uses bing’s index for some stuff.

ABCDE ,

Ecosia too I think.

Shellbeach ,

Ecosia is working for me though

ABCDE ,

It is now.

MudMan ,

Oh, so that's what's going on. I noticed DDG added an AI chat service to their search page and I was so ready to blame that. Goes to show PR works on everybody.

searx.spaceJust pick an instance and you’re good to go.

Gamers_Mate ,

Btw If you are not sure which instance of searx to pick look for one with your country code.

I cant seem to find where it says if api access is enabled. Or maybe i just messed up my lqngchain tool config

First three search queries I did had zero results. Seems cool but not enough stuff indexed, I guess.

gressen ,

Perhaps a different instance will work?

twei ,

They do not index stuff, searx only query’s other search engines and compiles the results

noisypine ,

You can go in to settings and select what search engines to pull from. The defaults on that instance may not be sufficient.

Seems to affect startpage too

Petter1 ,

Hu? Isn’t it google API?

ObviouslyNotBanana ,
@ObviouslyNotBanana@lemmy.world avatar

Seems not, no.

InfiniWheel ,

Yeah, that’s odd. I could swear Google had something in its terms that specified you couldn’t mix its results with other search engines.

And nothing of value was lost
