Update 23 July 2021: Added "Peekier" search engine. The special feature of this search engine: "Peekier - preview websites before clicking through".

Inspired by Vivaldi's blog post "Wanna beat trackers? Try a new search engine" https://vivaldi.com/blog/wanna-beat-trackers-try-a-new-search-engine/

Tip copy the list in Blue Velvet Editor, it save it in the HD in Html format by default, then you can share this document in Google docs or other sharing service.

@catweazle I have tested it: Download from Google Drive as a text file, open the text file in Windows and paste code here:

[Catweazle]

@stardepp , yes, but I don't need the full list, my list is complete for me (58 privacy and specific search engines) and i've backup them, among others, in a privat page, but thamks.

Besides I had to copy them manually, because in the configuration of the search engines I do not have a Backup button

@catweazle Here are the instructions for modification backup search engines: https://forum.vivaldi.net/topic/35443/backup-search-engines

Your YouTube search link is wrong. Your Yandex Images link and YouTube link are the same.

[DoctorG]

@kirin Please tell which post this is.

[stardepp]

@kirin Thank you for your comment, I have just corrected that.

One for the adventurous: https://search.marginalia.nu/search?query=%s

Called Astrolabe, although the name doesn’t seem to be mentioned on the site itself.

@luetage , first result, searching Vivaldi Browser in marginalia ¬¬

[ukanuk]

@catweazle Wow, at first that looks really bad (although for me it's actually the 2nd result, not 1st). But after clicking through the link and reading it, and reading about Marginalia, it doesn't bother me at all that this is a top result.

First, that article is laments that most browser engines don't follow the FTP spec, and Vivaldi isn't even mentioned until about 80% of the way to the bottom.

Second, Marginalia says:

This is a search engine, designed to help you find what you didn't even know you were looking for... If you are looking for fact, this is almost certainly the wrong tool. If you are looking for serendipity, you're on the right track. When was the last time you just stumbled onto something, by the way?...
The purpose of the tool is primarily to help you find and navigate the strange parts of the internet....
You'll surely find uncomfortable ideas too, but I'm sure you'll survive and find the experience worthwhile, because for every turd you step in, there are also plenty of brilliant and interesting gems to find that for one reason or another didn't live up to the standards of the big search engines.

So in conclusion, it worked! I definitely never knew or thought about browsers respecting basic parts of the FTP spec, and I'm glad Marginalia helped me learn something new today!

[Catweazle]

@ukanuk , I know, because of this I added Marginalia to my list.

Another one, Qdex (nice homepage) but currently few results in searching. Still very new, that's why in beta, still no image search. It is private and uses the Google engine
