>>109209643Figure it out yourself. You niggers have never done anything for me so fuck you got mine.
^who tf are you unc
just use google retardseverything else is worseif you think something is better like startpage, thats only because it's using google results
>>109209602You hit the nail on the head!
>>109209661Google is worse than everything else.
>>109209667if you're an absolute fucking retard maybe. Bing doesn't even have working search operators you fucking idiot, how the fuck is google worse than bing
>>109209204Who still use a search engine in 2026? Just ask chatgpt with web browser mode on.>>109209204
>>109209676ask it about the clotshot or the synagogue of satan (oh nevermind, i just did)
>>1092092041.org Charitable Search.
>>109209709did some testing, it seems to use the syndicated google API for web/images. For videos & news, it uses the brave API.Startpage also uses the syndicated API. It's important to note that this API is NOT real Google search, its crippled and doesnt give as many results. You can notice right away because there aren't any "sublinks" under anything.
>>109209620>>109209647ok retard lmao
>>109209204AI Data mining thread. DO NOT FEED THE AI
Self-hosted searxng
>>109209876/thread
>>109209917tf you mean /thread searxng sucks. their google scraper uses the iphone user agent which only returns 1-8 results per page. udm=14 doesnt work with that user agent.
>>109209950wtf do you use then
>>109209876>Google results suck>but google results through a crappy proxy dontSomeone explain this please.
>>109209204i actually started using bing, that's how bad google isand i kinda enjoy bing actually
>put exact search term in quotation marks to let em know i mean verbatim>erm actually did you mean to spell it like this instead, hope so cause I searched that instead :>ahh
>>109210138putting something in quotes in google hasn't done anything in years. that feature was removedpeople still doing it only do it out of habit
>>109209204Brave
idk, works for me
>>109209204yandex works pretty well for me now
>>109210142This is a total and utter lie, I use quotes in google multiple times daily and it has worked every single time without fail.
>>109209661out of all the options, Google is probably the worst, its consistently bad, barely gives you what you want
>>109209217It's a wrapper for google. Only makes it worse plus they get your data first.>>109209204Don't search by asking questions. Search engines were more useful 15 years ago than now which is funny.
Startpage.comPeople who say it's just another google frontend have clearly never used it. I'm pretty sure it's doing some kind of multi provider aggregation, even if it's just querying google under the hood the results are much better, and they're paginated unlike g*ogle.>>109209217Fpbp
>>109209709This, but its image search is abysmal.
>>109210589No. The results are straight dogshit worse on mobile because they downgrade it to bing, and on pc it's just google results except sometimes they're missing results and when you point it out to them they just go "hehe well we don't have control over that haha google just gives us whatever"that said it still has most stuff, it just isn't too reliable so if you're doing a REAL search, not shit like "what day was 9/11", and you want to make sure you're not missing something, you'd still have to use google anyway to ensure you aren't missing resultsand it is more private, so i guess it's pretty much second best (depending on your views/ability to use yandex). Probably mostly good enough.
All search engines are heavily censored. Try finding highly critical articles about GrapheneOS; the search engines won't turn anything up, even though I’m certain plenty of based schizos have written about it. The GrapheneOS search test is the standard benchmark for evaluating a search engine's quality. So far, only Yandex has delivered a single usable result.
>>109210850Maybe you're right. I did spend a lot of time looking for critical opinions and stuff on grapheneos and only find "omg it's the best thing ever with no downsides (except google wallet) im in so mcuh control over my phone and data, i don't want for anything with grapheneos!"only to figure out after i got the pixel and everything that it doesn't support rootingso i spend like 3 days restoring my apps because i couldn't just run swiftbackup
>>109209498Google image is absolutely shit now.>>109209850Would rather just create a start page with the webpages I trust and start a white page with every single solitary website I known for a fact is jeeted/israeli/or AI slopified.Might even "code" a blackwall filter to block AI content, websites I don't like/instantly censor them from search results, and even make a little third party youtube app that instantly suses out AI/jeet/slop channels and block them and short permanently.
>>109210850by the way, these are the kind of results i want to see when i type into a search engine "graphene os is a scam".https://chef-koch.bearblog.dev/the-case-against-grapheneos/btw i found this article via yandex.
>>109210850GrapheneOS shills are self-replicating because they operate on the faulty premise that you could securely run google spyware.>i don't use LineageOS or something completely different like Sailfish because GrapheneOS has a sandbox for Google apps!...you read in every single post shilling for it.It appeals to people who don't want to be secure and private, but who want to pretend that they are.Does someone who checks out his gmail app in his grapheneos sandbox really believe that he has privacy? Or imagine looking at your Goole Maps App, showing your location, and honestly thinking: "they cant track me".So we get lots of shill posts, because it is purely performative.They also bought a specific device just for it, so they have a monetary investment as well.And every searche engine will find that.
>>109211087So if Graphene is garbage, then what should we use?
>>109209220Which one? It split into two different engines
>>109211101What are your requirements and what's your use case?From ROMs that arent limited to Google hardware (Limeage) to chinese spyware (Harmony) to completely different things (Sailfish) to simply using a second device, we got plenty of choices.
I've tried all and come to the conclusion that everything outside of Google is unusable EXCEPT... Kagi. I've tried the free searches, and they are surprisingly good, I don't know if not better than google. But it's not like I'm going to pay for a search engine. Everything else like Duckduckgo or Startpage is absolute dogshit if you don't search for something generic. From my experience Startpage is even worse despite proxing the Google results.
>>109209671>Bing doesn't even have working search operatorsAnon... Google is quietly phasing out search operators as well. Exact match doesn't work anymore if it's more than X words and returns less than Y results (they're still testing out the numbers).So searching for a full phrase from the lyrics of an indie song with 10~ exact search results will give you 20 pages of completely unrelated results, as Google simply removes the quotation marks. Still works if you're looking for a small number of words, like 3-4. Not even kidding
>>109211139>From my experience Startpage is even worse despite proxing the Google results.Because you let your Google Cookie track you.Of course a proxy service is always going to have worse results than upstream, if upstream is allowed to track you when you use it directly.
>>109211082TL;DR?
yandex is going to be the last man standing
>>109211087wtf uses google apps on GrapheneOS? that is the most absurd thing I've read so far in this thread. who are these morons you surround yourself with anon?
>>109209204Grok you stupid mother fucker, who the fuck uses a normal search engine in 2026?
duckit's been stable in the last year. I didn't notice anything getting worse (or better)
So what is the best for normal/sfw stuff?Do we have a consensus now? I'm using ddg but it's not the best.
>>109210850This is actually true.Can confirm the Bogdanoff bros called the high jewish council and ordered them to send feds to censor every search engine, in order to remove all the personal drama of an autistic phone OS developer.It was their top priority in March 2022.
>>109211177kagi. yes you pay a few bucks but it's worth it.
nothing is usable. computers are dying.
>>109211164That's not the problem. I compared the tracked Google results with the non-tracked ones (on Tor browser) and they are still hundred times better than what I get on Startpage, at least when it comes to images.
>>109209602Absolutely, it's always important to remember that AI is driven by the same engagement algorithms that dictate your content feeds!
I'm trying this one now >>109207482Looks very promising
>>109211171>wtf uses google apps on GrapheneOS?every single person you find when searching for "grapheneos" in any Westoid search engine.So basically, 100% of people who use grapheneos and write about it on the internet.
>>109211223>>109211199>>109211139buy an ad
>>109211218That is only possible if google actively intentionally cucks results for proxy engines.In which case using kagi would be retarded as well. It's also only a proxy, just that you pay for it.
>>109209217>>109210589>looked up this article's title on startpage>https://www.vice.com/en/article/disturbing-child-porn-trends-from-india-during-lockdown/>got this>changing "cp" to something else produces no warninguh oh stinkyprivacy bros... not like this
>>109210225Haven't found a single search engine with perfect accuracy but google is the closest.
>>109211241I'm definitely an exception. The whole point of using GrapheneOS, for me, is to eradicate google from my life.
>>109209204My own instance of SearXNG so I can choose exactly how it works. Plus it's kinda interesting.
>>109210213>animes
>>109209204I use Google for images. It works occasionally. I also use the image translator, Lens I guess, very often for translating and/or extracting text in pictures. Mostly hentai, nothing big. Not to actually post MTL garbage to panda or anything, don't look at me like that, just for myself.
>>109209204le shill lion
I don't get people who still use manual search engines.Like, hello, we solved the thing with thinking computers that we've been trying to do for some 60 years???? So go ahead and fucking use it???

>>109209204selfhosted searxng and degoog(recently released meta search engine)
>>109209204the niggernet is dead.
>>109211591What's the difference between this and the standard? I assume it doesn't use a shit ton of laggy javascript and other web2.0 shittery? I also noticed it lacked the AI summary.I still use google since it's sufficed for my purposes (rarely am I searching for something esoteric) but I might switch to ddg. Would be nice if it had an easier name to type in but I guess browser autocomplete can work for that.
I wish I knewGoogle is straight up hiding results like rule34 now, but every other search engine is completely retarded and garbage at what it does.>inb4 duckduckgoRead above, you can search for the literal exact name of a site and they'll give you something else.
How are there not disgruntled core Google engineers from the 2000's era that can assemble a new one?
>>109209204i watch birds
>>109211292>>109209217>>109210589startpage blocks my IP for no reason, so they go into le trash
>>109209204still google for day to day stuff, yandex for everything else since censorship is much weaker there.I'm not into reddit search engines like duckduck and stuff like that.
>>109211523What on earth are you babbling aboutWe still don't have thinking computersllm's don't do anything in between prompts, there's no thoughts occurring they just simulate human speech patters to trick fools
>>109211901If you could perfectly simulate a human brain in a digital environment, but only ran it at intervals, would that mean it's no longer thinking?Intelligence can take many forms.
>>109209204what are you searching for?
>>109210589Startpage doesn't put the fucking date of the article which pisses me off. Only reason I still use Jewgle is for that reason
>>109211169>b-but it's Russian!My favorite argument retards have against it I'd rather let Russia have my date than Google or Meta
>>109209204I ask other people to share their knowledge.
Unironically, if I have a specific question I am searching for the answer to I just ask chatpgt and make up my own mind on the accuracy
>>109211158proofs? anything? at all?never seen quotes not work once on googlei did a search for this problem and all I find are idiots on reddit complaining that the shit they're searching has no results and thinking it means quotes doesn't work. Not gonna say google has a perfect index, there is shit you can find on yandex or bing thats not on google. But their searches are far from that domain. https://old.reddit.com/r/google/comments/14foya6/google_searchs_quotes_dont_work_are_they_still/https://old.reddit.com/r/mildlyinfuriating/comments/16d7281/quotation_marks_no_longer_do_anything_on_google/But they're the only ones giving screenshot examples so...
For specialized searches I dunno anymore. If I look up certain guides or some obscure product to buy that might come up on a foreign site I get no results. I know this stuff exists and has probably been crawled but all the mainline search engines refuse to show it. As uncucked brave or duckduckgo are they also don't come up with the right results.Reverse image searching is completely broken on everything but Yandex. Yandex might also be better for international content/filtered content. We are in the grim timeline.
>>109211958this is the crucial question.
>>109209204I don't know. Have you tried googling it?
>>109211984No idea if it is Russian or if it's run by some kike expats, but it's the only one that is capable of finding basic blog posts about something i look up.Everywhere else i get:>wikipedia>mainstream news website>SEO scams>[deleted] reddit postYandex isn't perfect, but it is the best there is. And as time progresses, it becomes more extreme. Once it hits a certain point, they will ban yandex or try to buy its Westoid business like they did with tiktok. I am sure of that.
>>109212033nta, but whenever i do a search like>termA termB "a phrase"the quotes mostly do nothing
>>109211865Lots of money and fear they'll end up like that open-ai jeet whistle blower
>>109211911Correct. >Intelligence can take many forms.You're not one of them.

>>109211131Idk man I just type Yandex.com and start searching

Regardless whether Einstein was highly intelligent or not, it is same to assume his mind worked roughly in the same way as every other human.Do you seriously not understand these concepts? Is it that far beyond you?

I run a number of bots that look for internet connected devices with unlatched vulnerabilities and then compromise them. Once I'm able to deploy any arbitrary application I drop my agent onto the system which coordinates with other compromised device agents to form a network of scrapers. I have them scrape the internet like Google bots of old using the same techniques, then store the indexed data back on my storage and use that to power my own personal search engine.
>>109209204>use in vm over Tor>asks for a captcha every request >select all the images of buses/stairs/etc.>sorry you got it wrong Is the captcha just a trick to try to identify via user habits? The audio one works perfectly but the images won’t work until ten tries or so.

>>109209204Brave Search
>>109215381Mike Chitwood is in his way.
i miss being able to search for something and get tons of results. with enough patience i would be able to find what i'm looking for but now you just get like 9 results where 7 are AI and the remaining 2 have nothing to do with what you typed
>>109209204i still use google because i know it's ai mostly only gives wrong answers >process of elimination
>>109209204Bing
>>109209217if only I didn't have to do a captcha every time I want to use itI just use Brave Search
>>109215386Google recaptcha can block you if it thinks your request is spam, but instead of saying "you've been blocked" they give you impossible captchas. It's like a shadow ban. You see it a lot when you try to use tor exit node IPs.
>>109215951i tried it just to check it out because google is so bad now and i kinda liked it. i'm using it for a bit to test it out
>>109215284Do more drugs
>>109215386>>109216115Here's some forbidden knowledge for you. The first recaptcha will always fail without exception, even if you do it correctly. But you still have to do it correctly in order to have a chance at passing the next captcha. If you get the one where you have to choose multiple images instead of clicking squares of a big picture and do it correctly, you will usually pass every time after "failing" the previous one. If you get those big pictures where it's arbitrary whether the captcha thinks a square contains a motorcycle or not, just give up and fail intentionally until you get the one with multiple images.
>>109215178This. Searching dictionary terms leads you to 10 pages of AI APIs pulling definitions of AI made dictionaries. Searching for a simple question also leads to the same result.
>>109216573>The first recaptcha will always fail without exceptionWhy don’t they just make a functional captcha?
>>109216663you think pajeets care?

>>109209204Duckduckgo, and if it's so niche that it doesn't find it, just add !g at the end of my search in DDG so it searches on google. Unironically, DDG is now better than google search, that's how bad google is now because they removed the most important feature from their search, operators (" " and -).
>>109211169>>109209220What I hate about Yandex is that it does those stupid bot checks all the time.Sometimes even with every click if it gets real bad.
The reason why we don't have new search engines popping up that destroy literally every single worthless existing search engines is because the internet was built with the assumption that only humans would use it and even worse on trusting them first. The internet needs to change so that websites have to generate a snippet of metadata for web crawlers to grab instead of accessing a website manually, so companies like Cloudflare and whatever other companies on the transport and application layers don't block your startup web crawlers. From what I'm hearing, due to all the LLM data scraping that's probably what the internet is moving towards anyway.

>>109217890Disney could have lead a coallition of IP holders across the earth to sue the absolute fuck out of openai and anthropic for rampant IP theft and forced them to pay out of the ass or at least give them a percentage of the proceeds for any sales permanently. NOPEThey actually gave them the keys to the kingdom and thought they could get rid of the pesky human alement and produce barely usable "content" for less then nothing. Now they are way too late and people can not only reproduce their entire goddamned IP backlog videos music and games and whatever but their own and future IP is now essentially less then worthless.
>>109217754>google is now because they removed the most important feature from their search, operators (" " and -).surely you can provide a single piece of evidence for this extremely extraordinary claim
>>109219140Apparently they work now, wouldn't be surprised if Google rolled back some retarded change they were testing in some locations/countries. The most obvious evidence I can point to is a thread on r/google from last month, because I was searching if someone else was having the same issue and then found a recently opened thread about it.
>>109211215Working as intended btw >>109211865Gangstalking etc they won’t anyone get a piece of their glory without bending the knee to baby eaters
>>109211865I assume the people who actually wrote the original google engine are sitting pretty on piles of cash smoking bitches and snorting ditches. The mid tier engineers probably signed non-compete clauses when they left, though since I'm a shitter I can't say how long those usually last. Even if they did write a new one there's still the question of how to finance it. You can't just steal google's hegemony over adspace, especially if your monthly user count is less than a million (even if your operating costs are also low).Basically there just aren't enough people with the knowledge and the willingness to Disrupt.
>>109217890>the transport and application layers don't block your startup web crawlers.Yep, making a search engine is all about scraping and now AI ruined that.>>109218801Disney has always been slop. Their empire is built on taking public domain stories and then psyop-ing the public into associating them with their brand.>people can not only reproduce their entire goddamned IP backlog videos music and games and whatever but their own and future IP is now essentially less then worthlessUnfortunately I don't think it matters much anymore. Their IP, especially the older, has become a cultural meme mostly divorced from the core product. They probably made more money from selling "stompy the rabbit" merch to people who never watched whatever movie it's from, than from the movie. When they can get $5k from a single person going to their park, a few $20 movie tickets don't matter much.Pokemon is doing the same, they don't put any effort nor budget into the games now because they make much more from selling cards and toys to people that never played the games.
>>109219345>Basically there just aren't enough people with the knowledge and the willingness to Disrupt.We know how to do FTS and handling large databases. DIYing your own google has never been easier and it's not gonna be very expensive to host either.The problem is scraping, you'll be blocked in a few minutes per IP these days, and residential proxies aren't cheap.You would probably need to make a free VPN app or something like that to get your own fresh supply of IPs.

>>109227569I am legally retarded
>>109209217>StartpageIt's just as bad as google. I used to be able to find old early-2000s pages focusing on e.g. WWII naval battles -- the kind of thing where it was a pure labor of love from some nerd who really loved that topic and had, in some cases, spent his entire life accumulating esoteric information about it. I used to love searching for something and then ending up on Geocities-tier boomersites with deep, autistic depth.You don't find that shit anymore. Everything is hyper-optimized for currency generation without a single exception. It's the same thing with how YouTube one day mysteriously stopped showing independent channels in favor of 400 pages of mainstream news outlets. It's annoying on one hand, but an actual fucking tragedy on another. We have optimized away deep human interest in favor of shallow human greed.
>>109227673We accept your concession.
There is no alternative

>>109217764isnt the problem with russian/chinese they will sell your data for even lower price than google and to more shady companies?
>>109209204>What the FUCK is /g/ using to search the web now?Bing
>>109214919everyone knows all those gangsta rap clowns are the biggests faggots. swallowing logs of shit and taking it up the ass by their jew masters.
Startpage is perfect 98% of the time. Occasionally I use Jewgle when I need to dig deeper.
>>109226480use an up-to-date instance, duckduckgo changed something
>>109231397>he still thinks giant multi-billion $$$ corporations are selling his dataanon, they don't sell your data, they USE your data. Google is an NSA outlet.Do you think the NSA is spying on your because they want to earn shekels by selling your data on some shady darkweb marketplace to... whom exactly?You say they sell the data for an even lower price... then can you point me to where i can buy that data? If they sell it, someone must be capable of buying it, right?

>>109233210dishonest headline>29% to "Another search"Whatever happens in those 29% is again part of the 32, 39 or 29 percent.So we have 45% of searches that end with no clicks.And from the 55% that are left, it is unknown how many of them got an answer and how many just gave up. And that metric should be relevant even from a marketeer perspective, because having an ad on a website where the user is happy is more lucrative than having one next to something the user hates.If we would split it by:>user clicks on stuff>user gets his answer from wikipedia-box / AI / result-description>user doesn't get an answer and gives up (surely more than 5%)the scenario of the user clicking on something is the most likely one. Which is imho surprising, because i don't do that, i don't click on the trashy google results, which is only SEO slop for a decade now already. If the wikipedia box and descriptions of results don't do it, i select a different search engine, which gives me results of websites i can click on.
>>109209204in my dreams i control the largest botnet known to man. i am unstoppable, and i use it to flood shitty tech companies with the word "nigger."
>>109212033google search is so badly degraded now that quotes almost do nothing. Back in the day you could search for incredibly specific things, and if it existed anywhere on the whole internet google would find it. Maybe it still works for your purposes, but when you search for anything technical it basically finds nothing now, whilst back the they it would find everything that existed. One example of this was searching for GUID values. In the old days it would always find them and bring up extremely obscure sites.
You guys are joking when you say you use Bing, right? You're not actual using Bing over Google?Google is absolute dogshit but Bing is worse
>>109234126I don't think it parses sub-informstion anymore; just surface level.
I have never gotten a relevant result when searching for anything on duckduckgo. It is perhaps the worst search engine ever created.
The absolute best thing about Google is it puts dates on every single entry I can immediately know if an article or something is recent. I don't want to have a technical problem with some software or something and search for a fix and see results that might match the keywords I searched, but be 10 year old pages and the fix is outdated for the current version of whatever it is I'm looking for If I have a problem with an update that happened in 2026 I want to be able to see the date of the page is 2026 so I know it's gonna talk about the current version. I don't want to click a page and see it's from 2020
>>109209204>What the FUCK is /g/ using to search the web now?i pay for a family kagi subscription with my friends. it's pretty good
>>109235005$5/month and still caps you at 300 searches.Lmfao. Jeetware meets Jew-ware.
>>109235018we have 5 people paying so it's basically 4$ a month. but yeah i don't think it's really feasible to pay for it alone, even the duo subscription is better. does selling data really pay that well you have to pay 10$ a month solo for you data to not be sold.my usage stats as a person who uses search quite often if anyone is wondering
>>109209204yandex.ru
>>109209204I'm using qwant, because it kinda feels like google from 10 years ago. The results are not very good tho
>>109233203They sell it to advertisers bud. They also use it themselves and give it to various governments agencies in exchange for certain considerations but they also sell it. Basically whatever you don't want done with it, they do with it
>>109233203ye thats the point with google only nsa might have it and with russian anybody but i guess russian/chinese also just give it to their government and might not sell it furtheranyway this pajeet says fbi buys data https://www.politico.com/news/2026/03/18/fbi-buying-data-track-people-patel-00834080

>>109233203>selling your data on some shady darkweb marketplace No but they do sell it to advertisers and all kinds of e-commerce actors
What the fuck are you retards searching that aren't found on the very first Google page?
>>109209220I'd love to make a joke about russian state actor sponsored search but yandex is unironically the only one that works for technical queries, piracy and hacking shit

>>109209204i think it does not matter these days;needed some program to do certain things, went (no google) to see what is up, had to adjust search terms three times in hope i will avoid same results"best way to do xyz" = all vibe coded ai shit. could not find a single program and i know they exists.all ai vibe coded shit in all three search results.and i know it is shit since i got a local variant of it that these 'vibe coders' are selling as 'unique ai powered' shit.k, there has been one or two old forum posts and what not i guess. so not all results.
>>1092394772"artist - songname" fails surprisingly often when it's not Madonna or Tay Zonday you're searching for.
>>109209204Brave is the closest at being as good but they're still shit. Duck is a joke and I'm convinced it's paid shills recommending it.
>>109239846that is not charleston kick
>>109240009>Brave>Only allows 6 pages of search results no matter what you searchFuck off
>>109209400This. It’s not as good as google used to be, but it’s OK, which in this day and age is the best you can get. Ocassionally trying brave search, it’s also showing promise and really improved quite a bit since its inception.
>>109239813I'm honestly surprised the US government hasn't told Google to get their shit together because our datamining tech is starting to lose traffic to Russian datamining tech.
>>109238228>and with russian anybody but i guessUnless you can tell me where i can buy that data, i don't believe that.>>109238224>>109239444>muh advertisersThat would be Google (so the NSA) itself. If a private advertiser company could buy it, you would be able to point me to a place where this is possible and could show me some finance report to stockholders where it gets mentioned.The only data that i see accessible for sale are those various "leaks" and "hacks". And they are almost exclusively Westoid platforms. Every other month we get a million to billion accounts "leak" from some American corpo that you can buy for money. But i believe more into incompetence than malice here, they will legitimately get hacked.The corpos are three-letter-agency outlets and three-letter-agencies use that data themselves to oppress you.Believing that big corpos collect your data to earn sheckels is like believing that the US invaded Iraq for the oil.
