Why does steemit.com use GOOGLE for search?

This seems crazy the reason we're here is to get away from the monster. It can't be that hard for people who have created this site to write a search function?

Why is steemit feeding our searches into that monster? Many of us now use alternatives like duckduckgo.com for privacy.

This seems like a very weak link in the privacy and censorship fight. Maybe the devs should talk to the aforementioned search engine and get some collaboration going.

Also, I can't use the function from my location without a VPN. Actually, I can't use DuckDuckgo.com either but hey the point still stands.

And I see you still haven't fixed the problem with Grammarly corrections being auto undone that I mentioned to devs last year as a bug report.
