It seems to be the norm now that any #search field pretty much ignores your search terms and stuffs the results full of what their algorithm wants to dump on you.
Search for catfood on a pet-store site? I get mostly dogfood. Search for tires? You get windshield wipers. Search a specific brand, you get all their competitors - who've no doubt paid to override your searches.
And the former exclude operators have been deactivated.
We have released a new update of AstianGO, an update with improvements in the accuracy of the results, improvements in the news, video playback and much more.
Enjoy a search engine that doesn't track you, doesn't sell your information and doesn't keep track of your activity.
I think I might be about to start paying for Kagi. I have SearxNG. Am I dumb for thinking about doing this? Is DDG and the like so bad? Is Kagi actually that good?
So with my new found knowledge of #kagi upsetting me and causing me to leave it... The fact the only other engines that are not just proxying google or bing... Is #brave or #mojeek and while brave one is nice... I just cannot bring myself to use something that funds a biggot... Then mojeek just feels dated and not great...
I am tempted at bringing fuzzysearx back... and even look at trying to leverage the built in ability to add custom engines to look at leveraging other abilities... because searxng really seems like the only ethical way I can see to leverage search engines collecting data...
