I'm not sure what exactly you're typing into the search field, but I don't anything like this. The top 3 sites I get for a search of "minerals" are wikipedia, australian museum, and britannica. Typing in "crystals" gets me a healthline article debunking crystal healing, but the following results are some woman's personal store and amazon. Lastly, being direct about wanting scientific articles gets me said articles...

Side note: Why are there so many people pushing for kagi in this thread and skipping over the fact that duckduckgo exists? It's kinda bizarre to see.

I pretty much dislike that DDG is not opensource while preaching about privacy and stuff. But tbh no idea what Kagi is.

Kagi is a paid ~~open source~~ and private search engine. Folks seem to really like the results they get from it 🤷🏻

Edit: not open source

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Kagi is not open source as far as I can tell. They have a few open source small projects but the bulk of it is closed source.

Oh, thanks for the correction! I think I confused it with another search engine and mixed the two together in my head

Maybe searxng?

Nah, it was stract, which if I understand correctly is open source and has it's own index. Though the results haven't been amazing in my experience. Still, it's exciting it exists though :)
