What is MetaGer?
MetaGer is an open source metasearch engine focused on protecting users' privacy. Based in Germany, and hosted as a cooperation between the German NGO 'SUMA-EV - Association for Free Access to Knowledge' and the University of Hannover, the system is built on 24 small-scale web crawlers under MetaGer's own control.

NOT "non-profit" cut the crap, you have to PAY to search
A once great search engine that now requires you to purchase tokens to search. Very sad to see.
Nice concept, but I can't fine-tune the result time range.. you know like 24 hr, 1 week etc.. and I very much use those filters.
No longer free of charge. You need to buy tokens and each search uses one token. 500 tokens (5€) is the minimum amount you can buy at once
I see it as Freemium. Different settings require pay.
MetaGer is a private search engine that works without javascript.
Underrated. Bing Results, Anonymous Proxy, Works Without Javascript, Open Source. What is there not to like?
