Yup. Worked better before google enshittified and ignored search modifiers, anyway. Now it’s “which engine will be the least annoying and return better results?” When going down that rabbit hole.

Kagi, while very expensive, has finally freed me from slop search results.

Worth trying!

I went to Kagi for several months, good service for sure, but set up a self hosted instance of Searxng and obvs prefer that over paying to do essentially the same thing.

How does the search quality of Searxng compare?

[–] Jakeroxs@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 weeks ago

Basically the same as Kagi since it's also just a metasearch engine, select whichever ones to aggregate and go.
