Anybody pooling searches and charging a buck for it with at least a “trust us” privacy promise? Or $1 per 500 even. (Kagi’s more, understandably.) Unsurprising if somebody’s already thought to do this.

But check the fine print. They talk about the providers guaranteeing ZDR, but I missed the part where they themselves do also.

Thanks for checking!

I had “[allegedly] ‘some guy’” in mind but maybe some ZDR promise from a megacorp would theoretically be just as good or better.
