Google Search & Bing
Ninety percent of European search, one American company.
Worth knowing before you switch: only Mojeek and Marginalia crawl their own index. Ecosia and Qwant run on Bing, and Startpage serves Google's results anonymously. That still buys you real privacy and European ownership — but not independence from the American index. Ecosia and Qwant began building a joint European index in 2024.

Qwant ↗
French, no tracking or profiling. Most results still come from Bing, with a European index in progress with Ecosia.
-
Ecosia ↗
Berlin non-profit; ad revenue plants trees. Results come from Bing — it is building a European index jointly with Qwant.
-
Startpage ↗
Google's results, served anonymously. Private, but the index is Google's — and System1 (US) took a stake in 2019.
-
Mojeek ↗
Brighton, and one of very few engines anywhere crawling its own index.
-
MetaGer ↗
Non-profit German metasearch run by SUMA-EV. It queries other engines rather than running an index of its own.
-
Marginalia Search ↗
Swedish, its own crawler, and tuned to surface small independent sites.
