alt Hacker News> “search the entire web”
TIL they allowed that before. It sounds a bit crazy. Like Google is inviting people to repackage google search itself and sell it / serve with their own ads.

I tried it and contributed to searx. It didn't give the same result as Google, and it also have 10k request rate limit (per month I believe). More than that you'll have to "contact us"

It basically means that Google is now transitioning into a private web.
Others have to replace Google. We need access to public information. States can not allow corporations to hold us here hostage.
You know, back in the days, the web used to be more open. Also - just because you CAN do something, doesn't mean you HAVE to.
