The last 25 years of Google’s history can be boiled down to a battle against the Google bomb. Is the search engine finally losing to its hijackers?

    Yeah the search has gone to shit. I’ve been using Duck Duck Go but I guess that is Bing based?

    Also been trying out Kagi. The format is unsettling at first but it is nice to see the results I am looking for at the top instead of a bunch of bullshit ads / sponsored results and whatever along with crappy results below the fold.

      I’ve been using Kagi for two months now and I can’t recommend it enough. Whatever I search is always on the first results, no need to filter SEO crap.

      Also it’s incredibly fast.

      I’m not a heavy search user so their lowest tier (5$, 300 searches) is more than enough for me. I can see how the costs can add up for someone that is a heavier user tho

        I’m still figuring out what tier I should go for before I decide what to do.

        But yeah it is quite zippy fast!

          Try the low one for a month and set a soft and hard limit, then evaluate. That’s what I did, but I didn’t go beyond 260 searches hahaha
