Since DuckDuckGo apparently uses AI to hallucinate rape allegations, and Google is Google, does anyone have a suggestion for an alternative search engine?

@shauna Kagi is a revelation. It’s basically search like Google was 25 years ago. It just provides the result you are looking for and you’re done.

Yes you have to pay for it, but in my experience it’s cheaper than the wasted time spent on the other search engines. And if I’m searching for something that might cost me money I’m not worried that it’s trying to send me off to some sponsored site that will make the search engine extra cash instead of saving me money.

@shauna This is a fantastic list of alternate search engines:

https://seirdy.one/posts/2021/03/10/search-engines-with-own-indexes/

After spending some time digging through it, I think we're basically in the same place as with browser engines: there are literally no good options left. All of the mainstream search sites are investing in LLM bullshit and feeding the machine that is destroying their own search results. There are some cool indie search sites like Marginalia that are too small for general purpose search. Now what?

@kdwarn @shauna I'm doing some sample searches, and the first 2 results for "Tobin Heath" on Mojeek are this.
I'm not sure that I agree with their index ranking

(also, I'm pretty sure it'll forever remain a mystery 😆)

The results from good search are actually good, for this search.

@anakin78z @kdwarn but better than fabricating rape allegations against former houston dash manager vera pauw!

@shauna#Mojeek for specific answers to specific queries and #Marginalia for more open-ended/exploratory browsing and discovery!

🎯 https://mojeek.com
dream_catcherhttps://marginalia-search.com

They're both powered by independent search indexes and are both on the Fediverse (albeit a rather centralised part of it): @Mojeek and @marginalia ✨

There's also https://noai.duckduckgo.com if you just want to hide the AI 🤖
