It is becoming near impossible to find relevant information from search engines. Duckduckgo, SearXNG, Bing, Google, and so many more mainstream engines have a significantly high noise to signal ratio, and it is getting worse.

Here are a collection of the best search engines I know, please add more to the list.

If no more high quality search engines exist, would it be possible to host your own?

EDIT: Some new discoveries. The addon uBlacklist and filters can block super SEO sites from appearing in search.

    Isn’t there that whole controversy with kagi going on about transphobia homophobia stuff?

    Edit: apparently it was homophobia not transphobia.

      Kagi has recently started getting part of its search results from Brave’s search index. That’s literally all there is to it.

      ah, cancel culture at its best, I won’t be part of it. I took one look at these people, and when I see them cry racism over a completely benign website I know I should just ignore them.

            I don’t think the trans community is aggressive. But there are few very loud dumb people like the one you linked. There are people like that in almost every community, but for some reason, in the trans community they manage to get that much attention.

            If your support of a vulnerable minority is dependent on that minority acting in a way you personally approve of, then you don’t support them.
