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.

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

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