I suspect that this is the direct result of AI generated content just overwhelming any real content.

I tried ddg, google, bing, quant, and none of them really help me find information I want these days.

Perplexity seems to work but I don't like the idea of AI giving me "facts" since they are mostly based on other AI posts

ETA: someone suggested SearXNG and after using it a bit it seems to be much better compared to ddg and the rest.

I'm very happy with kagi at the moment. Just crossed one year using it as my main search engine last week and don't see why I would go back.

I don't remember any specifics, but I think I heard there were some privacy concerns?

Then again, there seem to be privacy concerns about pretty much anything so might not be that bad...

Never heard any issues with Privacy, but I've heard issues about them using Brave search Results as part of their results.

If i remember right, it wasn't just using brave, but including a referral id in brave searches. It wasn't intended, and they fixed it, so all good with me.
