Which is why I stopped going since about 4 years ago now. One day I just went to a different mall, and never looked back
Where? I feel Google has gone way downhill but the Bing based search engines haven't seemed any better.
Kagi.
And that mall is
tons of alternatives.
search engines with independent indexes(i.e., not beholden to any big search engine):- mojeek
- brave search(semi independent)
- kagi(semi independent)
meta-search engines(gets results from other search engines):
- startpage(google)
- duckduckgo(bing)
- qwant(bing)
- swisscows(bing)
- metager(multiple sources)
- searx(ng)(multiple sources, configurable by user)
I'm still missing a ton but this should give you an idea.
for more, see this interactive graph, or this Wikipedia list which includes other niche types of search engines as well.
I personally use mojeek(because of their independent index) with duckduckgo as a fallback.
thanks a lot for the mention, if you wanna use that fallback less and less, feeding back on algo updates via https://www.mojeek.com/eval always helps us
didn't know about the page. thanks! and good to see you on Lemmy.
