i have been anticipating this release for some time now. I am an avid user of ecosia and find the results passable in comparison to google. A couple of queries a week I am unsatisfied with and switch to google or a chatbot these days. I hope this new index is also comparable in quality and one step closer to a bit more competition in this market. Sadly, I could not find an official blog post or anything on the qwant news site..

I found about it on LinkedIn, because Christian Kroll wrote about it:

I've no clue why they don't have a blog post or anything up yet.

Once you get into learning German, it’s surprising how many compound words like this are actually direct translations of the Latin or Greek roots of the same English words. Hydrogen = Wasserstoff (water material); television = Fernseher (distance seer) and so on. It’s almost as if they had their own uncleftish beholding moment.

Not necessarily these words, but a lot of these translations stem from linguistic purism:

Any idea how I could get this in the US? They only want to ship to Luxembourg.
