Deleting my bookmark for https://sarchy.tech/ ... it was using #YaCy (where peers crawl and index), but now it uses #Searx (which depends on the goodwill of corpocentric search providers).
Admittedly, Searx is likely to give better results, but why use them when #DDG and #Startpage do the same things, only better?
(And yes, DuckDuckGo's results have gotten much worse lately. Still not as bad as using #Bing directly, but I'm leaning more to Startpage these days.)

I haven't seen or heard about that. Do you have a link?
-
The only thing I've found is https://www.startpage.com/en/about-us.html which does not mention any recent ownership changes.

It looks like Sarchy (search provider based first on #YaCy, then on #Searx) is gone. That page goes to a domain parking page.

Both sarchy dot tech and searx dot world are parking pages. sarchy dot online is just nothing.
Yes, they are gone.
