 These engines fail badly at a few important tests. Otherwise, they seem to work well enough.
 
+* Peekr (formerly SvMetaSearch): Originally a SearxNG metasearch engine that also included results from its own index, it's since diverged. It now appears to return all results from its own growing ElasticSearch index. Open source.
 * Infotiger: My favorite engine in this section. It offers advanced result filtering and sports a somewhat large index. It allows site submission for English and German pages. The fastest-improving engine in this section; I look forward to the day it "graduates" to the previous section. Infotiger also has a Tor hidden service.
 * seekport: The interface is in German but it supports searching in English just fine. The default language is selected by your locale. It’s really good considering its small index; it hasn’t heard of less common terms, but it’s able to find relevant results in other tests. It's the second-fastest-improving engines in this section.
 * Exalead: slow, quality is hit-and-miss. Its indexer claims to crawl the DMOZ directory, which has since shut down and been replaced by the Curlie directory. No relevant results for “Oppenheimer” and some other history-related queries. Allows submitting individual URLs for indexing, but requires solving a Google reCAPTCHA and entering an email address.
 * ExactSeek: small index, disproportionately dominated by big sites. Failed multiple tests. Allows submitting individual URLs for crawling, but requires entering an email address and receiving a newsletter. Webmaster tools seem to heavily push for paid SEO options. It also powers SitesOnDisplay and Blog-search.com.

 : The most interesting entry in this category, IMO. Like Neeva, it requires an account and limits use without payment. It's powered by its own Teclis index (Teclis can be used independently; see the [non-commercial section](#small-or-non-commercial-web) below), and claims to also use results from Google and Bing. The result seems somewhat unique: I'm able to recognize some results from the Teclis index mixed in with the mainstream ones. In addition to Teclis, Kagi's other products include the [Kagi.ai](https://kagi.ai/) intelligent answer service and the [TinyGem](https://tinygem.org/) social bookmarking service, both of which play a role in Kagi.com in the present or future. Unrelatedly: I'm concerned about the company's biases, as it seems happy to [use Brave's commercial API](https://kagifeedback.org/d/2808-reconsider-your-partnership-with-brave) (allowing blatant homophobia in the comments) and [allow its results to recommend suicide methods without intervention](https://kagifeedback.org/d/865-suicide-results-should-probably-have-a-dont-do-that-widget-like-google/50). I reject the idea that avoiding an option that may seem politically biased is the same as being unbiased if such a decision has real political implications.
