today's search results are horrible, there are ai generated articles that just happen to contain your question but barely answer it, and also websites that copy stackoverflow and others content (and eventually translate it VERY badly)
I wish someone would develop a search engine that only used a few thousand top curated information sources - wikipedia & so on. I'm sick of wasting my time on SEO spam.
And just like that we are back to 1997 (the year before google launched)
Pretty much all the search engines were shit if you were looking for anything really specific.
Honestly, starting with wikipedia is my go to search these days.
Interesting idea.
I've been playing with Kagi lately. It isn't curated but the results are usually better than Google and there's no ads because it's a paid service.
