I went searching for something today and instinctually clicked on a reddit link. Fortunately the sub was dark for the protest anyway, but it’s crazy how ingrained in me it is to go to reddit for everything.
Unfortunately now we’re going to have to get used to clicking on those clickbait tech articles like “TOP 10 FACEBOOK ALTERNATIVES 2023” to find information, and weed out the crappy blogs.
Hopefully search engines can eventually work around that.
I think Brave search goggles can do exactly that
Sparks an idea, I briefly remember google or some search engine letting you search for forums, a browser extension which did this for a few different larger forums and then aggregated the results could yield a similar result.
I think the one you’re looking for is kagi.com!
Nice to see Kagi get mentioned!
I’ve been using Kagi for about a month now, and I love the quality of results you get. I’d say it’s still a niche product for people who need to do a lot of searches but can’t be bothered to dig through commercialized ad-driven SEO’d crap. I haven’t used the personalization features like lenses much, although it’s useful for finding PDFs and answers to programming questions.
What do you think about Kagi?
Never heard of it, just went to have a look and they had a “give it a try” button with a “best headphones” example. Note the very first result. Given the context of this thread, pretty funny 😅
