4get search

4get is a proxy search engine that doesn't suck.

About 4get

https://4get.ca/about

Official instance

https://4get.ca , or visit the official instance list: https://4get.ca/instances

NOT to be confused with 4get.ch, 4get.lol and friends! I don't host these.

Totally unbiased comparison between alternatives

4get searx(ng) libreY araa hearch.co
RAM usage 200-400mb~ 2GB~ 200-400mb~ 2GB~ idk
Does it suck no (debunked by snopes) yes yes a little better than searx
Does it work ye sometimes sometimes sometimes yes

Features

  1. Rotating proxies on a per-scraper basis
  2. Search filters, which SearxNG lacks for the most part
  3. Bot protection that actually filters out the bots (when configured)
  4. Interface doesn't require javascript
  5. Favicon fetcher with caching support & image proxy
  6. Bunch of other shits

tl;dr 4get is the best way to browse for shit.
