Alternative Search Engines?

I've stumbled across links to two alternative search engines recently. One of them is Marginalia Search,  which, sadly, does not refer to marginalia in medieval manuscripts, but rather to the margins of the Internet. 

The other is called WiBy and dubs itself "the search engine for the classic internet". You know, the Internet as it used to be when it was geocities and lots of personal websites, or at least that's the vibe I got from it.

It does indeed seem to me like searching the 'Net gets harder these days, with more and more AI-generated stuff flooding everything. Only a few days ago, I got to see a "crochet pattern" showing cat's faces. It looked lovely, and quite life-like, but more like needle-lace than crochet, and though the "pattern" looked hand-written, the whole thing was, you guessed it, AI. All this added to the fact that some terms are harder to find things anyway than others, and unfortunately textiles have a lot of these terms... well.

So I've taken a look at the two alternatives, and I think they're not my solution. They are both giving out links to sites that might not be up on top of the Duck's list (I usually use duckduckgo as search engine), but nothing that looked really interesting to me and that I hadn't seen before. There might be more amusing or enlightening outcomes for other searches than "hand spinning" and "medieval textiles", but those are the two that I tested. 

No glorious alternative for me, thus. Which means I will stick to the duck for now, with the addition of searching via academic portals and the Google Scholar page - which is, actually, quite good, much as I try to limit my use of Google stuff.
