MODERATORS
Cooks.com is pretty lightweight and puts the recipe first. Allrecipes doesn't have the multimedia popups and their "introductions" are shorter.
It's sad that all the small-time recipe websites are maximally incentivized to be attentional black holes.
I think allrecipes might be the best that I regularly use because their "jump to recipe" button always works
Query: "Pokémon Legends: Z-A mega evolution mechanics datamining Reddit"
Results x20: "Top 25 NEW mega evutions LEAKDD Nner 37 will SHOCK YOU!!"
I just wanted to know if it did anything other than type shifting or plussing moves. I still don't know.
Its all slop. You can tweak settings but even google is full of ai slop. I would use multiple search engines again like we used to back in the day
Set the date of your search to before 2020 to avoid COVID and AI slop ruining the results.
Otherwise if you need more up to date information, you're going to have to get good at telling apart AI slop from human slop.
Covid slop?
Not slop, but it's a distinct period where lots of people where activity on the internet was different. Like for instance, a lot of people in school or university were doing exams online and so forth.
Kagi is good. It costs money though.
About as good as ddg 5 years ago I'd say.
Which is to say phenomenal in comparison to what passes for search today.
It is good enough that I almost never try my query elsewhere, and when I do the results are usually even worse.
DDG honestly has terrible result quality. Google results are fine, but the page layout isn't. I use Kagi, though I found that a tweaked SearXNG had comparable result quality (though much worse ordering of the final results).
Not really, but of the bunch, Yandex is unironically good because it uses a different method to give results than Google or Bing
Try Yandex for a change see if you like it.
is that then non-free one?
If you're asking 'is that a paid service' then no, it's essentially russian Google and free to access
If you're asking 'is it privacy conscious' then no, it steals as much data as others, but for Russia instead
If you're asking 'is it open source' then no, it is closed source, and using a client like searXNG to interface with it is too much hard work since the way Yandex does searches (the thing that makes it different from Google) relies on the users and not search optimisation, so Yandex is extreme on detecting if it is an actual browser or not
I use browser plugin ublacklist to block block block shit domains.
I generally use ddg but it gets shittier and shitter. Though ddg has recently added a ublacklist-type feature to it's native interface, I don't use.

- I am begining to think there might be some backwards way of searching the internet archive but not sure exactly how.
We need community oriented, run and federated search engines.
use a metasearch engine like searXNG. it combines results from different search engines and you can decide what to include in it.
Has anyone tried "Ask Jeeves" lately? Search results from 2000 would probably be better that the dredge spewed forth now.
"lycos! go get it!"
Out of curiosity - I googled "Ask Jeeves". It renamed itself ask.com. I did a test search for "Trump news". The results were so bad they made me laugh.
but have you checked the autocomplete?
did you know about 45office.com? I never saw it before. Fuck man I'm gonna have to make a separate post just about the Contact Us page.
but have you checked the autocomplete?
I am sorry. I was negligent in my duties.
trump is lying sack of orange
I like that.
Just switched to Kagi, highly recommend

Weird I don't get any llm responses on DDG
The solution is to aggressively block every search result domain that wastes your time using a browser extension or built-in search engine feature. Kagi has a built in feature to block domains from search results.
