I wish there was a search engine that only searched text based websites or at least sites that don't have ads. 90s internet was amazing. Tons of websites ran by average people passionate about their interests, giving oral histories about things. Our computers were screaming, trying to tell us not to lose sight of what it was meant for.

    I think Kagi has a 'small web' feature.

    Kagi looks like it's part of the problem. It exactly looks like that 2000s meme that showed a dystopian future where Comcast sells websites like cable channels.

    Wiby and searchmysite are basically this. I have them as backends for my SearXNG instance, in addition to mojeek, qwant, startpage, duckduckgo, and brave search. Put together, it's basically as good as Google was before it got enshittified to all fuck.
