Google’s results have been getting worse over time, but it seems like the last couple years, they’ve taken a steep nose-dive, completely overrun with crappy content farming.

I’ve mitigated a lot of that by doing searches for any kind of product comparison or technical question with “site:reddit.com”, but now with the possibility that that trick will become less useful over time as well…?

Yeah. What search engines are other tech folks using?

    This looks pretty good, and I wouldn’t mind paying for search, but it seems really pricy. I’ve never counted how many searches I do, but it’s definitely more than 10 a day. $10 a month seems like a lot for just search…

      Made me feel a little unwell at the beginning as well, but considering that the search is one of the main, key features I use daily, multiple times, it is totally worth it.

      I pay for a search engine, but:

      • High quality search results
      • No ads
      • High customizability
      • No weird SEO optimized Website results which help me not at all and I lose hours in a year clicking them by accident
      • Did I mention no ads or sponsored content?

      The thing is, search is really important. It really defines how our internet experience is. Kagi is like the best thing since sliced bread, no joke.

      They have statistics built in, and I do about 1000 searches appearently, on computers and phones, during a month. It’s worth getting quality results, and it’s worth supporting a company that is doing something really good like this.
