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

I’m very happy with kagi at the moment. Just crossed one year using it as my main search engine last week and don’t see why I would go back.

I don’t remember any specifics, but I think I heard there were some privacy concerns?

Then again, there seem to be privacy concerns about pretty much anything so might not be that bad…

The concerns are about the credit card you use to pay.

The argument is that they can associate the card with your searches.

As far as I know they don’t keep search data. I’m personally happy with them

That’s what’s kept me from using it, although I very much like the idea of paying for a good service. I would love to see them figure out a way to avoid accounts.
