Comment on Over the past ~20 years, Google became the de facto entry point for learning new skills and information. Google also sucks now. This is a really big problem.

  i can literally type in a video title and a channel name and not get it. ditto for most searchengines looking at the youtube title.

  would YaCy help? i keep thinking it’s a floss peer to peer search engine. kinda like curating a fediverse instance? lmk if it’s a good fit for solving this

    I’ve tried YaCy. Its results are worse than Altavista. Might be OK for searching internal documentation at an organization, but not for the public internet.
