It is becoming near impossible to find relevant information from search engines. Duckduckgo, SearXNG, Bing, Google, and so many more mainstream engines have a significantly high noise to signal ratio, and it is getting worse.

Here are a collection of the best search engines I know, please add more to the list.

If no more high quality search engines exist, would it be possible to host your own?

EDIT: Some new discoveries. The addon uBlacklist and filters can block super SEO sites from appearing in search.

Isn't there that whole controversy with kagi going on about ~~transphobia~~ homophobia stuff?

Edit: apparently it was homophobia not transphobia.

Kagi has recently started getting part of its search results from Brave's search index. That's literally all there is to it.
