No way! Is that why it’s been timing out a lot lately? Oh man, I like Leta. I’ve been using it for several months now. Sigh, I guess it’s back to startpage (and ddg).

I just need a search engine the will also give calculator and unit conversation results. Everything else sounds be search results.

At this point, it's been too many years that I will just query "76 f in c" or "2500*12/3" from my url bar, so this I appreciate the most modest "intelligence" from my web browser.

Literally everything else makes my experience worse, though.

So I'm taking recommendations for more search engines to try out. I don't know why I start page bothers me so much, but it feels like the results my ISP would give me through DNS capture a decade and two ago.

you might be able to wire up https://www.wolframalpha.com/ to your search bar for those sort of conversions or calculations. I love using it for time conversions or time zone conversions.

There's also 4get that is similar to SearXNG. https://4get.ca/

I have not tried it much personally though.

git repo: https://git.lolcat.ca/lolcat/4get

DuckDuckGo still does that, and it generates UUIDs too, which is nice.

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 week ago

I never thought to use a search engine to generate a UUID. Interesting.
