    So I’d cut Google out entirely for the last year or so, but I still haven’t found a good search engine. DDG has been my go to, but it’s not great, and this old style Google seems to be close to how things were before all search engines sucked ass. Do you have any recommendations for alternatives?

      I’m hesitant to say it because I’ve gotten some ridiculously hostile reactions for it, but I’ve really liked Kagi.

      Yes, it’s a subscription service but that means they have an incentive to not show you shit results. According to some, paying for a search service is wrong because online services should be free, and I’m just astroturfing if I even mention it
