Our cutting edge algorithm must feed you the content of whoever pays more. You don't choose anymore. and you have to accept it.

BR, Paid Search Engines after investments dries.

Between this and Amazon it's almost completely useless to search anything through them. You just need to go to forums to get recommendations and reviews

The enshittification continues.

I recently switched my default search from Google to DuckDuckGo: Google has begun refusing to find anything while exact same search on DuckDuckGo just works. Google is slower because I have to think+ignore first half of the page due to Ads/SEO crud.

I've been pretty happy with my selfhosted SearX. I think maybe I've used google for so long that I don't know how to properly use other search engines. Bing never seems to give me the results I want.

Wrong. I regularly use "site:" all the time.

There's https://redditle.com/ if you just want reddit results. I've had it bookamrked and find it pretty useful.

Weird. I gotta check out that Cookie and Kate recipe, though!

My search engine results have been so dogshit lately, this just makes it worse. Glad I don't use Google anymore (even though all of them are bad regardless).

Google is just working hard to become less useful every day. I tend to use ChatGPT a lot instead of Google.

This is a tragedy. I will have to see if this still works on Bing
