we all know Google’s usefulness has diminished if you’re searching for something the algorithm doesn’t have it’s nose on, personally i don’t feel searxng (i used the nicfab.eu one) gives the best or most useful results either, what’s out there?

    I use Perplexity.ai. It was so good, I ended up buying the Pro version. Google ain’t got shit on Perplexity. On the other hand, Perplexity is most useful for information that requires some sort of synthesis. It’s less useful for a basic search like definitions or where to find something nearby.

      Thanks for the suggestion I hadn’t heard of this.

      I just tried it to find some simple info that I struggled finding last night because I had to shovel through so much crap with Google. It definitely did a better job than Google did.

      It’s sad how far the Goog had fallen.

      How did you buy a “Pro” version of Perplexity? I have the app installed and there’s no option to purchase anything.
