Is there such a thing as a manually curated search engine? (lemmy.world)

When I search for anything on Google or DuckDuckGo, more than half of the results are useless AI generated articles.

Those articles are generated to get in the first results of requests, since the search engine use algorithms to index websites and pages.

If we manually curate "good" websites (newspapers, forums, encyclopedias, anything that can be considered a good source) and only index their contents, would it be possible to create a good ol'fashioned search engine? Does it already exist?

The tech nerds on HN really like Kagi - it's a paid search engine, but apparently it provides filters and stuff to curate your search results to come from the types of sources you're looking for but I have no personal experience. That said, it's infected with AI just like Mojeek, Qwant Next, etc. and other alternatives. A SearXNG instance might be your best bet.

You can easily turn off the kagi AI throught settings, blocking all of the AI generated sites would be tedious though. They currently have a setting that tries to filter AI images from search results, hopefully they'll add one for AI sites in the future.

It only uses AI if you use a question mark. I’ve never once gotten AI search results otherwise.
