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.
- Forum Search Engine: https://crowdview.ai/
- Non-commercial Search: https://search.marginalia.nu/
- Libre Meta Search Engine: https://librey.devol.it/
- Golden Age Search Engine: https://www.wiby.org/
- Yandex: https://yandex.com/
If no more high quality search engines exist, would it be possible to host your own?
I will blow my brains out if I hear a Kagi astroturf one more time. Why pay for a search engine?
Use or Self-host a SearxNG instnace and even invite some of your friends to use your instance, or make it public. Why pay your way when you can use a perfectly awesome open source meta-search engine.
astroturfing is when users like a product recommend it now?
