Google is way to compliant to DMCA request resulting in bad result. Bing doesnt seems to care and will happily link to live and replay of sport event (the main reason I use it personnaly) even as a first result.
PS : If you’re french dont forget to change your DNS or any quality site will not load
So far the only comments have been ‘everyone knows this already’, but I did not, so thank you for posting it
After seeing this comic for the first time years ago I always try to keep it in mind when someone tells me they are just learning about something. We all learn similar things for the first time only at different parts of our lives and being able to be a part of helping someone learn something new is a great feeling.
Just because something is old knowledge doesn’t mean it’s common knowledge!
People get so weird about that. Yeah I knew, but before I knew, I didn’t.
Or you can use duckduckgo that uses bings search index while protecting your privacy
I’ve been using DDG exclusively for years now and every now and then I feel it doesn’t give me what I seek and I try Google and it doesn’t find shit either.
People always say that Google results are still superior but I believe that’s only the case as long as you’re in the bubble they create based on your profile and you’re looking for your interests and like-minded opinions.
Google search was amazing for a while in the mid 2010s but they’re losing the SEO arms race now
Aren’t all search engines kinda shit compared to 10 years ago?
I think it’s because malicious actors have gotten more sophisticated at influencing the search results and also Google stopped giving a shit. If there’s something out there that can give me 2010 Google level results, hook me up.
But I have been feeling like search engines are going extinct for a while. When the majority of content on the internet was real, search engines were useful. Now that the majority of content is fake and/or monetized, it becomes increasingly difficult for search engines to return helpful results. No matter how well optimized the algorithm, it’s like searching for a needle in a haystack.
I found that Google is head and shoulders above DDG when it comes for my work searches. Technical stuff - like code errors, Oracle syntax, technical references, etc. I used DDG for a couple of months and had to switch back to Google because I literally wasn’t finding the results that I knew existed.
DuckDuckGo has been harming people’s privacy for years now. Ironically in part because it allows Microsoft’s ad network through due to their partnership. Luckily there are many other alternatives out there.

Sharing is caring friend; offer some names so that we may benefit from your research.
Apologies, here’s some. Also plenty listed on https://alternativeto.net/software/google-search/

SearX

I’m curious about this… I’m having a hard time finding good info on this…
Linked some below
Yandex is the best when it comes to pirate searches, hands down
I usually use rutor.info, x1337.to, and torrentgalaxy.to for movie’s.
I we r talking about books, I’m still using z-library because it has almost any book I can ever need to serch, its slower since now is an onion site, an its a plain http transfer, but as I said before, I can find almost any book in there.
Pro tip: if you do insist on using Google scroll to the bottom until you see a notice like the one below.
You can then click on the complaint to see the URLs that were removed.
They’ve wisened up a bit and now require a (throwaway) email to access the links, but chances are that if you’re looking for something more obscure, the link you seek is still there.
Google is just better at censorship.
I use searx because it aggregates over multiple search engines. You can find searx nodes here: https://searx.space/
You should try out LibreX. Built in torrent search engine. Works similarly to SearX.
I’m not OP but I was curious and went looking.
I think this is it: https://librex.devol.it/
