What search engine do you use? (programming.dev)

Not sure if this is the right community, but I didn't see a general one. What search engine do you use? Besides Google increasingly spying on its users, the quality of its search results seems to have gotten significantly worse over the last decade. What search engine(s) do you use?

Really? I tried the trial and didn't find it that much better than DDG... Specially not $10 a month for life better

I personally find it much better than DDG, and only a slight improvement over Brave. DDG's reliance on Bing leaves me !banging my way out almost half the time.

Maybe I should check it out again

I found it slightly better. I also find the entire user experience appealing, so that adds some points. I use web search dozens of times a day for work, so it's worth it for me.

I probably would go back to 100% DDG if I stop working in tech.
