Noice! I am able to find this very thread through searxng, which seems to behave like an actual search engine with its own search results page, but I couldn’t find it through fedi-search, which seems to be little more than an auto redirect tool.

Hmm, this sounds like a really cool idea, but it doesn’t seem to do what I thought it would. For example, I went to https://fedi-search.com/ and searched for “stop internet searching” expecting to find this very thread, but alas, no dice.
