European alternatives to Google Search
Discover European-built tools you can use instead of Google Search.
Google Search returns the results, and in exchange it logs your queries and ties them to a profile that powers its advertising. For most searches that trade-off is invisible. For sensitive ones it isn't. The European search engines below don't track you or build a search history. Some run their own web index rather than reselling results from Google or Bing, which means the results are genuinely independent. You give up some of Google's personalisation and gain a search box that treats each query on its own.
