SEO has made it incredibly hard to find answers without getting spammed by news and blog sites. Places like ask Lemmy help democratize answers through upvotes and downvotes so the quality is higher.

Do you know of any hidden gems for search engines or Q&A sites that contain highly relevant answers without much noise?

            Read their privacy policy, you’re paying two ways, same as it ever was. Kagi doesn’t have ads, doesn’t log searches, doesn’t sell data, and on its privacy policy page it lists out every cookie it uses, what’s stored in it, and what it’s used for, you can literally check your browser against it.
