A lightweight, privacy focus and fast open source search engine. You can select a wide range of providers as search, images, and news.
It just needs multi language and regional support in the settings and it would be the perfect search engine for me.

What is 4get?
This is a metasearch engine that gets results from other engines, and strips away all of the tracking parameters and Microsoft bullshit they add. Most of the other alternatives to Google jack themselves off about being ""privacy respecting"" or whatever the fuck but it always turns out to be a total lie, and I just got fed up with their shit honestly. Alternatives like Searx or YaCy all fucking sucks so I made my own thing.

My goal? Provide users with a privacy oriented, extremely lightweight, ad free, free as in freedom (and free beer!) way to search for documents around the internet, with minimal, optional javascript code. My long term goal would be to build my own index (that doesn't suck) and provide users with a unbiased search engine, with no political inclinations.

Do you keep logs? I store data temporarly to get the next page of results. This might include search queries, tokens and other parameters. These parameters are encrypted using aes-256-gcm on the serber, for which I give you a key (also known internally as npt token). When you make a request to get the next page, you supply the token, the data is decrypted and the request is fulfilled. This encrypted data is deleted after 15 minutes, or after it's used, whichever comes first.
I don't log IP addresses, user agents, or anything else. The npt tokens are the only thing that are stored (in RAM, mind you), temporarly, encrypted.
- Do you share information with third parties? Your search queries and supplied filters are shared with the scraper you chose (so I can get the search results, duh). I don't share anything else (that means I don't share your IP address, location, or anything of this kind). There is no way that site can know you're the one searching for something, unless you send out a search query that de-anonymises you. For example, a search query like "hello my full legal name is jonathan gallindo and i want pictures of cloacas" would definitively blow your cover. 4get doesn't contain ads or any third party javascript applets or trackers. I don't profile you, and quite frankly, I don't give a shit about what you search on there.
TL;DR assume those websites can see what you search for, but can't see who you are (unless you're really dumb).
- Where is this website hosted? This website is hosted on a Contabo shitbox in the United States.

Comments and Reviews
An easy to configure meta-search engine that is also light on resources. Uses minimal JS and most instances have a Tor version available. Be wary that high traffic instances have a plain image captcha wall on searches based on the webmaster's interests.
Whoever wrote the description for the application obviously didn't have access to a decent means of finding information. If they did they wouldn't be using anti-semetic, anti-LGBTQ, far right, biggoted language like "globohomo".
Search engine hasn't helped the above author's brain crawl out of its tiny ditch. It must not be very good or maybe they would have found something to help the better understand their context without resorting to the socialism of fools.

HOMOPHOBIC AND RIGHT-WING SEARCH ENGINE DONT USE!!!!
"globohomo bullshit" in the description and julius evola appears on the homescreen, this is just a right wing alt tech product which leeches off of other search engines, avoid
Funny little (literally lightweight) search engine that definitely delivers its promise: grab search results from other search engines (even
Brave Search ) without compromising your privacy.
Note that some instances may be slow, push anti-robot captchas out, and/or just not workable with certain scrapers. There are instances out there that'll play better than others, so experiment with that if you need to for a smooth experience.
Very lightweight
