Try Kagi. Paid search engines are the future in order to extract yourself from the enshittification of "free" search engines.

If your goal is to get away from this AI shit show, Kagi might not be the answer, according to their own blog.

I will search for a very interesting article you should read, before deciding to give kagi any money.

Edit: found it

There's also the whole interaction in how the CEO treated someone who wrote an article and he wouldn't leave her alone after asking him to stop.

From his perspective I get it, you want to have good press and try to clear up any misconceptions. But how he went about it was very unprofessional and far too pushy.

yeah, that seems rough on kagi’s part. i used the free trial, and then just moved onto startpage because startpage doesn’t make me pay.

I read that stuff a few weeks ago. And the responses and discussion on Kagi's Discord. I'll continue to monitor Kagi's behavior, of course, but for now I prefer Kagi. I get far more relevant results with no advertising noise and as much or as little "AI" assistance as I want.

Google is a cesspool and DDG is simply inferior - worthy, but inferior.

Using Kagi is not a bad decision. After reading a lot of positive things about it and beeing quite hyped, I was so ungently reminded, that every good thing comes with its own baggage of bad.

I thought I share it, so that everyone can make their own decision.

I also tried Metager, a german meta search engine. Sad to report: not usable for me, although I like their club (suma-ev) and donated some money towards them.

For now it's DDG I guess. :-(
