Kagi. Kagi is the answer. Been using it for 3-months and it's absolutely worth the $5 a month.

Search results are shit now.
Our only hope is this opens the door to some competitor, who’ll provide actually useful search results. I know that would be very expensive to start.

I’m at about half a year, and I thought for sure I’d be mixing in Google from time to time, but nope.

Same here. Never looked back. My search finally just works.

I want todays content in 2002 search engines.

What if content amount is the problem and old search algorithms simply do not scale well? (Pagerank algorithm has bunch of assumptions, are they still true/good enough?)

I’m not a programmer. Let me state it better though. I want the algorithms or lack thereof of the early 00s. I want to be able to search for something and get more than scrape sites and top 14, 17, or 22 lists. I want to be able to search for a businesses and contractors and get more than national chains with 800 numbers. If I type in electricians in city, state, I want it to actually do that instead of making me find a map app.

It’ll be bing or something. The internet is too big nowadays for a small group to keep up. There’s just too much new information streaming in.

Ecosia and Qwant are working on a European search index.

Brave search has its own index and it works for me. Pretty good way out of big tech for web search.

For the longest time I didn’t understand why people were saying Google search had gone to shit. Worked for me! Now it cancerous.
I can search for a YouTube video I know well, nada unless I go directly to YT. Google can’t even find shit in their own space!
