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.

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.

      And how would that improve anything? Like I said, any general purpose engine is a no-go for me, because they index things I have no desire to ever see in my search results. Kagi is no exception.

      Been there, tried it, didn’t find it noticably better than the other general purpose search engines.

        Well I’m not going to argue with you. I’m just saying that kagi has a lot of customizations of search that let you tailor it to your needs.

        When you’re not ad-focused you don’t care if the client blocks instagram.com, facebook.com from results.
