> Google search is an inferior product Inferior compared to what, exactly? I have yet to find a good replacement.

  Worded that poorly, inferior to what could exist. Clearly too expensive at this point to show up and compete, but I think the time is coming.

    Isn't literally everything inferior to what COULD exist?

      No, I think Google search is inferior to what google could produce. By that I mean they tuned their own knobs in such a way that search results are worse than they could be. They are hurting the search results in the name of revenue and bias (political and otherwise)

  Bing is a pretty good replacement if you like pornography with innocuous searches. I tend to disable moderation settings because I'm an adult right? Google does a pretty good job distinguishing intent. For example a search for "<actor|actress>" and "<actor|actress> nude" with moderation settings off yield very different results. On Bing? Not so much.

  > I have yet to find a good replacement. Agreed. I have switched to duckduckgo as my default search engine a couple of years now, and I constantly find myself having to re-enter the query with a !g in front. As much as I dislike what Google has become, their search engine quality is still the best, and by a very, very large margin.

  yandex is better for image search and bing is not that far behind for web. Right now search engines are not a hot topic. But if people smell that google is starting to lose it, you bet they 'll go after his market share like rabid dogs
