I live in a country which uses a language I don’t speak but Google defaults to regional results in spite of my language being set to English. All other engines give me really poor results (not that Google was giving good ones, the image search has really gone to shit since they started populating it with AI stuff).

    I’m a developer and I’ve been trying out wwe.phind.com, has been decent so far. It gives you both a chatGPT/AI answer and a regular search engine result at the same time. Just don’t rely on it to write an accurate RegEx…

        yeah, as with all AI at this point it needs to be fact checked to be reliable. Still gives a pretty decent starting point if you don’t already have any idea what you’re looking for. Better than Google at least

          100%. Especially with things I don’t want to have to dig into the documentation.

          I have docker running with docker swarm locally for all my self hosting needs. I couldn’t remember how to scale a docker swarm service without killing existing containers and phind was able to give me the exact command I needed and I avoided having to look at the docker docks
