Google’s results have been getting worse over time, but it seems like the last couple years, they’ve taken a steep nose-dive, completely overrun with crappy content farming.

I’ve mitigated a lot of that by doing searches for any kind of product comparison or technical question with “site:reddit.com”, but now with the possibility that that trick will become less useful over time as well…?

Yeah. What search engines are other tech folks using?

    What do you think of Kagi? What sorts of scenarios / search types do you find yourself needing to fall back to a different search engine?

      I love it! Certain obscure stuff trips it up, which makes sense because it simply doesn’t have as large of an index as say Google or Duck. What makes it worth it is the ability to pin, blacklist, and rank sites, working search operators (Duck dropped them!), and actually useful knowledge cards.
