GOOD Search pools results from three independent search providers — indexes that are built and maintained independently from Google and Bing. You can switch between them at any time in your search settings.
The default provider. Uses the Brave search index, which has the most complete feature set:
Best for: everyday search, when you want the full experience.
An independent search engine based in the UK with its own web crawler. Results are completely separate from any Big Tech index.
Best for: a second opinion, or when you want results from a truly independent index.
A European index built as a joint venture between Qwant and Ecosia.
Best for: a European perspective on search results.

Go to Settings → Search Preferences and select your preferred provider. Your choice is saved to your account and applies across all your devices.
When you switch, the available search tabs update automatically. Image, news, video, and local tabs only appear when GOOD Search is selected.
Regardless of which provider you use, your IP address and identity are never shared with them. All requests go through GOOD Search's servers — the providers see only our server's address, not yours.
