I suspect that this is the direct result of AI generated content just overwhelming any real content.

I tried ddg, google, bing, quant, and none of them really help me find information I want these days.

Perplexity seems to work but I don’t like the idea of AI giving me “facts” since they are mostly based on other AI posts

ETA: someone suggested SearXNG and after using it a bit it seems to be much better compared to ddg and the rest.

    Besides be sad and hit my head against a wall? Depending on the query, I’ll sometimes use ChatGPT or find an associated Discord, subreddit or somewhere and hope for the best.

    I’m disappointed a lot.

      I bang my head against search engines. Normally I can find something decent after multiple searches, but it never used to be this way.
