You could also just avoid Google. They haven’t been reliable for two decades.

For what? DDG results are just as bad, if not worse.

Ironically I find myself using Bing more often than not, for it's Copilot AI. It has a tendency to just repeat the same incorrect information when it can't find what you want, but it's still better than anything I get from a search engine, that is, not without adding site:reddit.com to my queries, and for obvious reasons, I don't want to have to keep doing that.

Please share your secret. What magical unknown search engine are you using that is immune to AI-generated nonsense?

DuckDuckGo primarily uses Bing results, mixed with a few other smaller sources. Kagi (paid) uses AI, but in a way that benefits the user, not the advertiser. They were an early adopter of AI.

I use DDG and keep adding words until I get what I want. Especially quoted words.
