A bit besides the point, but I have been thinking about this.
I currently use duckduckgo. However I have two problems:
- Most of the results are usually SEO spam
- The page takes a ton of time to load
Google also has the first issue (though not nearly as much), and so do all its wrappers.
The only search engine that made me feel more or less like I was getting decent results was kagi (especially with the fact that I could block and report AI slop and block sites that I don't like), but that's just too expensive for me normally.
What do ya'll do for search?
