@danielson Thanks for this tip, here is more information about this search. I have added this search to the collection.

@stardepp, another GOOD one for your collection, GOOD is an European search engine, private, and similar to Ecosia support ONG with every search
GOOD is a non-profit search engine from Germany. It uses the search index of the Bing search engine. All advertising revenue is donated to charity and the non-profit is B Corp certified. Before a rebranding in 2022 GOOD was called gexsi.

@stardepp, another nice one
What is smry?
Smry.ai provides users with a subtle method to obtain summarized content, effectively circumventing conventional paywalls. By simply appending "smry.ai/<url>" to the desired URL, users can effortlessly access instant summaries, offering an innovative way to navigate online content free from traditional subscription restrictions. Easy to use and highly reliable, Smry.ai also enables users to compare various internet archives such as Google Cache and Archive.org, ensuring transparency about the source of their content.

@Catweazle Good tip, works great for bypassing paywalls
-
@Catweazle Which websites can be used with it? Could you give me an example?
-
@stardepp, supposedly in the vast majority, the list is on the official page in the form of scrolling logos.
In any case, I also use other systems, well working with proxie and a special one for scientific content, which does not eliminate the paywall, but searches a database in research centers for the original source and redirects there.
https://1ft.io
https://www.sci-hub.stAndisearch also can summarize contents, but it isn't so complete, but also it's reader mode works sometimes.

To bypass paywalls the extension to use is "Bypass Paywalls Chrome Clean":

I will not include this search engine in the collection because it is illegal.

I have added the Tidal (music streaming) search to the collection.

@stardepp, not sure of this, summarize a content isn't the same as breaking or blocking paywalls, even BingAI, GoogleBart or Andi can do this. Other methode is what Sci-hub do, in case of a paywall in a scientific publication it search the text in the original source, if exist.
Nobody can create an paid account in every newspaper or publication to be able to read an article, this can only be expected for people who read this magazine or newscast every day. -

@stardepp, nice, fast, own search index, OpenSource, private: Stract
https://trystract.com/search?ss=false&sr=N4IgNglg1gpgJiAXAbQLoBoRwgZ0rBFDEAIzAHsBjApNAXyA&q=%s&optic=
is that another Search you use
-
@mikeyb2001, among others (the long code correspond to the settings you use, instead of cookies), with the Optics function you can discart or also limit the results tos specific sites, but I mostly use Andisearch and apart Startpage, Mojeek and sometimes Whoogle, but I test also different other engines, like the mencioned one and currently eTools.ch, a Metasearch engine with 15 engines from Swiss, but currently I'm struggeling to insert it in my search engine list, none of the normal search querie codes work, maybe @stardepp or someone other can help to find it out.
-
According to https://www.etools.ch/plugins/etools-metasearch-https.xml search works like:
https://www.etools.ch/searchSubmit.do?query=%sThe site itself does not seem to provide search suggestions.
For the address bar, one could misuse another search engine for suggestions, i.e.:
https://api.qwant.com/api/suggest/?q=%s&client=opensearchNot sure if that is a good idea.
-
Thanks, that it is, I don't use search suggestions anyway, normally I know what I want to search without suggestions.

Another two for your collection, @stardepp

@shifte Works here.
Change to:
URL:{google:baseSearchByImageURL}upload
Post param:encoded_image={google:imageThumbnail}
Google changes this all the time
Seems like they changed this again because now I get
https://lens.google.com/v3/upload?lm=ChAIBBIMCNmC/KsGEICWrNsBChQIBRIMCNmC/KsGEMCa6dsBIgIIAQ== 400. Thatβs an error. The server cannot process the request because it is malformed. It should not be retried. Thatβs all we know.
