Alternate title: Google admits Reddit protests make it harder to find helpful search results
What’s your preferred alternative? I use DuckDuckGo, and it’s… OK. I still often switch over to Google when I’m having a hard time finding relevant results on DDG.
SearXNG. It’s a meta-search aggregator, you can use any public instance (the config is all in-browser) or host your own for kind of extra privacy.
DDG works really good in my opinion. I rarely use google, and if I do use it, I find the results almost always lacking too. The only time when google is better, is if I’m looking to purchase something, and want to find a place that sells the product I’m looking for.
Presearch
Checked it out, stopped reading at “blockchain”.
Try Kagi. It costs money, but it is worth it.
It seems to depend on the type of search. For ordinary information, I’m using DuckDuckGo. For shopping, I go to Google, but the results aren’t great. I’m undecided for serious research.
