Google, DuckDuckGo and Bing now all return the same shitty LLM-generated nonsense sites to most of my searches, and don’t respect my literal search terms even when I put them in quotes.
I’m not ready to pay for search, yet.
Is there any alternative?
Kagi if you are willing to pay for the service. I think that’s reasonable but your needs may vary.
I might pay for quality search if my searches weren’t linked back to my credit card and therefore identity.
If it wasn’t something I use every day and even for work, I wouldn’t bother. But yeah, Kagi result or definitely better. Being able to rate sites high/lower in results and blocking some all together really has helped filter out the nonsense that a lot of search engines give
