This is why I use SearXNG; locally hosted on a container. It collates and sorts out the crap from all the engines at once. I get a useful list of results normally. My personal instance is configured to shotgun several engines at once and uses Wolfram Alpha or Wikipedia for informational boxes over other engines; if those services present a result.

My experience:

  • Infobox (if applicable), Source is reliable; usually Wolfram Alpha or Wikipedia. May not always be immediately relevant but it's usually a close enough match.
  • Most relevant results (3 to 7 of them)
  • Relevant results containing any terms (Many)
  • Less relevant results (Usually on page 2 or 3 by this time)
  • Nonsensical results; may be slightly relevant (Usually you're 7 to 10 pages deep by then)

Because the font was so similar with "Ad" I was instinctively rolling my eyes and scrolling past your comment before I realized it was a comment LOL.

Effective!
