I felt the same way but with the Reddit thing I started switching up some of my sites.

Have you used any of the SearX instances? Works just as well as google for the most part

I have now, and I’m underwhelmed. As a test case I used a repeated failure point for Google and DDG: ‘“Apple I” keyboard’. As in, keyboards for the Apple I, which came before the Apple II. (I have some very stupid hobbies.) Major search engines overwhelmingly return Apple iWhatever keyboards, or just Apple keyboards in general, with occasional vintage or retro hardware tossed in. The handful of SearX instances I tried returned nothing.

  Yeah for niche stuff it’s not going to perform well (yet) sadly but 1 day!

  Have you tried Apple 1 instead of I?
