Beginning with Search
It seems appropriate that I start my search for UK alternatives, by looking for a UK search engine.
Looking for a UK based search engine is not as easy as it might sound. When you search for UK based search engines what tends to come up are things that are simply alternatives to the big three, that have a .UK domain.
Eventually, I came across Mojeek. A genuinely UK based alternative search engine. Not only are they based in the UK, but they don’t rely on any other search engine indexes. This is pretty rare for any alternative to Google or Bing, so it’s doubly pleasing to see this effort from a UK source.
