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?

    Made me feel a little unwell at the beginning as well, but considering that the search is one of the main, key features I use daily, multiple times, it is totally worth it.

    I pay for a search engine, but:

    • High quality search results
    • No ads
    • High customizability
    • No weird SEO optimized Website results which help me not at all and I lose hours in a year clicking them by accident
    • Did I mention no ads or sponsored content?
