What's your opinion? Does google really "not work" anymore? Are there any better search engines? Why did the quality of search results go down? I honestly stumbled onto this question through this music video, what is ironic in it's own way i feel...

Google is absolutely useless now, nothing but SOE farmed rubbish.

It’s become completely unusable.

I’ve moved over to Kagi 100%

It’s well worth the money for the amount of control I have over my experience. Being able to black list, downplay or uplift specific sources is awesome

Never heard of Kagi but it does sound I intriguing.

You will love it. I switched about 6 months ago and it's wonderful. When I was using duckduckgo I had to use the !g keyword to search Google sometimes. With Kagi, it's basically switch and you forget Google exists.

Set it as default and you will see what I mean.

I’ve tried Kagi several times and the results for me are not good. I’ve pretty much gone back to Google unfortunately.

Can I ask what kind of searches you're doing? I don't find google all that great, so I'm curious what you're searching for where google gives you good results.
