This has been a a tough one, Google gives all ad-focused results, and DuckDuckGo gives crap results (imho)
I did find Kagi recently but they charge after 100 free trial searches, and I’m considering paying for it because it’s so good. Best results I’ve gotten anywhere in a long time.
Thanks!
Haha those results tho
I love this, reminds me of when I first found StumbleUpon and the OG Yahoo that was a hand-curated directory.
I use SearxNG and Ecosia
Kagi is pretty decent. It’s worth supporting else the space will continue to be dominated by advertising monopolies.
I use kagi and really like it. I find it worth the money as a business owner and software dev. I feel I’m more productive.
You can set up your own “lenses” which are targeted, customized searches and then use a keyword to invoke them. Pretty handy when you routinely search for obscure topics.
Searxng?
Kagi is good at filtering that low effort trash, but it’s behind a subscription
