It is becoming near impossible to find relevant information from search engines. Duckduckgo, SearXNG, Bing, Google, and so many more mainstream engines have a significantly high noise to signal ratio, and it is getting worse.

Here are a collection of the best search engines I know, please add more to the list.

Forum Search Engine: https://crowdview.ai/
Non-commercial Search: https://search.marginalia.nu/
Libre Meta Search Engine: https://librey.devol.it/
Golden Age Search Engine: https://www.wiby.org/
Yandex: https://yandex.com/

If no more high quality search engines exist, would it be possible to host your own?

EDIT: Some new discoveries. The addon uBlacklist and filters can block super SEO sites from appearing in search.

Isn't there that whole controversy with kagi going on about ~~transphobia~~ homophobia stuff?

Edit: apparently it was homophobia not transphobia.

Kagi has recently started getting part of its search results from Brave's search index. That's literally all there is to it.

ah, cancel culture at its best, I won't be part of it. I took one look at these people, and when I see them cry racism over a completely benign website I know I should just ignore them.

So separating the art from the artist?
