Why there's no search engine that can allow me to search the web like I would query a DB? It feels borderline impossible to find exactly what you want using modern search engines. And all the new ones are either a frontend for google or bing, or not that good/powerful. What stops people from making a better search engine today? Is everyone satisfied with Google's results? I don't think so, so why there's no alternative? but we get a billion LLM a day. Just spin some scraping bots and index the web for us, I would mind paying even a hundred dollar a month for it, and people do that for AI.

>>108877067Nobody will know about your le based search, because google will now show it in search results LMAO

>>108877067At this point I'm sorrly tempted to craft my own search engine just for me.
>>108877079You can buy a an ad on a big ass building in the center of the city, saying "Use my Le Based Search™"

If you speak french, Qwant is actually half decent if you set your region to France, and you can still get some English websites if you use English queries. (if your region for Qwant is US, I think it just proxies shit from DDG, and it's really awful.)I do use html.duckduckgo.com every now and then when I can't get something in English with Qwant, it isn't that great though.Also, university library catalogues for open access resources can be nice.
>>108877469Qwant is just a google proxy. Same as brave search, same as kagi, same as ddg. Wake up sheeple. All those "we totally have our own indexes listen and believe" morons are like this.
