What are the best search engines today? For what tasks?Including niche ones and paid ones.
>>107544980I've been looking through /g/'s good sites archive and I'm not yet sure, I'm leaning towards building a multisearch that connects every search engine and just spamming the same search across all of them. Anyway, the reason I'm bringing up the good sites thing is because I found this and it seems close to what I want: https://www.faganfinder.com/I can't be the only one who remembers it as faggotfinder kek>Also, the most recent good sites pasta I found: https://rentry.org/good-sites>The /g/ archive, on this topic:https://igwiki.lyci.de/wiki/Search_engines>The pasta that keeps getting posted, just to get it out of the way:>Why not just stick with Google?Search engines are a biased window into the web.

One more important tip, for reverse image search you can use an extension like "Image Search Options" or "Search by Image" and spam searches there. It helped me discover https://lenso.ai . It might seem like AI slop, but it got the job done when every other censored and neutered option failed (although it almost censors links for some reason, not enough to make them unreadable, which is even weirder).
>>107544980There are none left. They all suck. Yandex used to be good, but the Russians completely butchered it.
