A completely revamped search experience with rich results, AI overviews, place search, news, sports, images, smart shortcuts, and now our own European search index. Zero Big Tech. Zero tracking. More powerful than ever.
This has a lot of potential. So apparently they use their own + European Search Perspective indexes. The ESP was built by Ecosia and Qwant I believe. Will be testing out whether it’s any good. Most search engines use bing or google under the hood, having something independent and still being decent is not easy. Last I checked only Brave had something remotely usable and independent but even then it was not that good. Kagi uses their own but still rely heavily on bing / google.
First impressions the site itself is pretty polished, at least from the UI side of things.
Seems like they have a PRO and PLUS services. PRO is 8 eur a month and gives access to more expensive LLM models. So far they offer Qwen 3, Kimi 2.5, Mistral 3, GPT 5.2, Gemini 3 PRO. Not bad but from my understanding you can only do 100 queries for that 8 eur.
Seems like the open source models are also hosted on EU. Would be great if they could include more, smaller models, such as Gemma 4, GPT 20B…
Will also be looking into their privacy claims and whether it’s not just “trust me bro”. I saw someone mention they were also planning on making the search open source or something ?
