Google's search results have become pretty much useless for anything but like... how to videos and song lyrics. I know there are better alternatives out there in the year of our lord 2022, but I've been using Google since before it was a verb. Any suggestions?
Also, how difficult is it to build an open source search engine? I imagine it's not something that a group of hexbear coders could manage, but if I'm wrong... we could really use a search engine with an explicitly leftwing bias.
Brave Search
they have a long list of all the cool things here, but most importantly they have their own search index like google and it isnt based on bing like literally everything else.
it seems to work well for english results, results may vary if you go for something more niche in something that isnt english
Forgot that they were working on this, neat. I'll give it a try for a few days.
