    I’ve no idea how I overlooked Mojeek. I’m always on the lookout for privacy oriented alternatives. Seems they exist since 2004 and don’t have any controversies surrounding them.

      I haven’t used Mojeek, so I can’t speak to that, but the UK has some of the worst privacy protections and mass-surveillance anywhere. They’re also part of the Five Eyes, so I wouldn’t count the fact that they’re UK-based as a point in their favor.

    I just tried it out using the same search string that I’d, just prior, run on the goog:

    how many permutations of 9 digit number

    Results were not encouraging.
