Yeah 100% agree. Especially for the type of search where you’re googling for an answer. This feels like what searches used to be when Google was young and forums still existed.
I wanted to make a joke about my first search engine, MetaCrawler, and then found out it's still around and still does search. Going down that rabbithole, it's changed hands a ton and was only relaunched kinda recently at some point. Is it any good? Nah, probably not.
I guess I'll just have to rely on my other aggregate search engine, SavvySearch (no, no the first search engine does not in fact still exist, much to my disappointment).
Has it gotten worse? They’ve been dogshit for a long time, maybe they’ve gotten worse and I haven’t noticed
I'm not sure what everyone's issues are. With UBO and DDG, I find anything I'm looking for and its usually in the top 5 results. Even on Google, it's quite easy to filter out AI and paid search results. Also, search engines still use advanced operators to fine tune your search parameters.
I use brave search. I can generally find most things. They even have an answer with ai thing that gives some useful stuff when you want a specific quick answer.
I also use ddg.
I don't honestly even remember the last time I've googled something. Nowdays I'll just ask chatGPT
