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.
i typically use searx because privacy, but honestly, it's very hit or miss for some things and i'll resort to ddg or google. it's very bad at pulling up stack overflow results for programming issues for whatever reason
