One thing I tried was a search along the lines of
coronavirus site:wikipedia.com site:cdc.gov
well now, that doesn't work at all. So much for thinking you could send a thousand websites along with the search.
I wonder sometimes, and this would probably only suit me, if I could get a copy of the websites I'm actually interested in and simply have a local copy. Do local organization and search (is that FOSS or buyable?). Maybe with occasional updates.
A person could go a long way with a stack of disk drives holding libgen, sci-hub, gutenberg, magazine archives from archive.org, special interest forums, etc. Plus, it would keep you away from the less useful parts of the internet.
One thing that does make you appreciate Google is how awful Amazon search is.

- biofox 5y agoSearch was a solved problem a decade ago. How did we end up losing so much functionality? Was there a specific event that started this?
