    So, I disabled everything AI the I can think of, use DDG as a search engine, ad block wherever, blah blah blah, my search results SUCK. Is there a better way to fix it?

    And I use Linux at home…no blows crap

      Kagi is pretty decent but the sad truth is that something like duck.ai works better as a search engine than normal search engines

      Suck in what way? And what kind of stuff do you usually search?

      I used to think search was kind of an universal thing but after looking at some people’s examples of what is a good or bad result I noticed that is definitely not the case.

      For me a good search result is a list of sites that contain the words I typed on the search bar, sorted by how closely the words match and then perhaps subsorted by some website ranking system. For that, DDG has been quite decent.
