I highly recommend kagi.com.
Its paid search, but it has the best results I've gotten from any search engine without any extra hassle. I pay for the 300 searches for $5/month.
The only complaints people have had about it is the cost, but I'm so happy with it I'll happily jump to the next tier if I blow through these searches.
anecdotally, I find myself searching less and reviewing the results more. It's less cluttered and the results, even 4 or 5 down, feel so much more valid/accurate/useful.
I’m extremely happy with the results on Kagi. Setting up my own ‘page-rank’ with their search customizations is a godsend to get rid of any unwanted sites and promoted the sources I know I’ll come back to.
I’m a bit turned off the pricing though, especially since last month I blew through 1000 searches before the end of last month so currently back to Google, but frustrated by every second search or so.
Thanks! Replying so I remember to check them out tomorrow, but I’ll probably eventually relent and get unlimited too. With how much I apparently use it, probably worth it in the end 😅
