      DuckDuckGo can search using almost any search engine anonymously. Want to search Bing? !b query. Google? !g query. Scratch this, I remembered wrong what those do.
      I do believe there’s a setting to aggregate the top results from several different engines as the default search algorithm.

        !g and !b doesn’t anonymously do anything. It literally just opens up Google’s and Bing’s website with your query.

          Ah, you’re right, my bad. I could have sworn I remembered a search syntax on ddg for searching different sites with an anonymous query - apparently ! operators are not it

        DuckDuckGo has a problem with booleans. I had to give up the Duck because of this. I’m using Mojeek, MetaGer and SearXNG these days.
