This. Searching for topic information back in the 1990s could be frustrating because you couldn’t find the sites until you found the one that had that links page that would lead you to a number of others about that topic. Searching today through the modern “search engines” means getting the same regurgitated, irrelevant and/or common sense non-answers from all the “top” sites. I don’t bother looking that way anymore because sites like SearXNG, Mojeek, even sometimes Brave Browser can often do better. It’s like we circled around to the same problem, but this time knee-deep in garbage, too.
