Is it just me or do all search engines feel soooo bad these days? (lemmy.world)

I suspect that this is the direct result of AI generated content just overwhelming any real content.

I tried ddg, google, bing, quant, and none of them really help me find information I want these days.

Perplexity seems to work but I don't like the idea of AI giving me "facts" since they are mostly based on other AI posts

ETA: someone suggested SearXNG and after using it a bit it seems to be much better compared to ddg and the rest.

When you have no other problems, the question of search engines is the biggest issues in your life

And naturally, the solution to your biggest issue is always to destroy everything and everybody. ^^'
