     Thanks for the links, I've tried to translate but I'm still not clear on what the issues are?

     Qwant sometimes uses Bing search results?

     If you have anything with the key points it would help!

     I agree it's not ideal, but it's difficult to have a truly decentralised search engine.

     Even SearX gets its results from centralised sources.

     If you have better alternatives, would be great to hear them.
