I pay for https://kagi.com https://kagi.com - it's absolutely perfect. Edit: I should explain why - a) you search for something, you find that thing. This should be table stakes for a search engine, but it's just not true of any of the others any more. b) No ads, no tracking. c) The lenses are excellent, mine defaults to the programming one a lot and the results are consistently great. d) You can up/down rank or block specific sites! Bye bye w3schools and pinterest! e) Did I mention that if you search for something you actually find it?

  I use and pay for Kagi, but more as an effort to support what I want to see (alternatives to Google) than specifically being 100% in love with it. It's pretty good, though, and definitely provides a bit of an alternative lens on the web from Google. I use !g much less frequently with Kagi than I used to with DDG. I hadn't encountered Kagi's summarizer yet - thanks for the pointer. Their "context search" was interesting given the hype around ChatGPT, and I'm excited to see where that goes. I see that's moved out of "labs" and will be added this month: https://labs.kagi.com/ai/contextai https://labs.kagi.com/ai/contextai A bit of self-reflection: https://labs.kagi.com/ai/sum?url=https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34643512 https://labs.kagi.com/ai/sum?url=https://news.ycombinator.co... Many people have replaced Google search with other search engines such as DDG, Kagi, Brave, Neeva, and SearX. These search engines offer features such as manual control over upranking and downranking domains, the ability to lock search results to a specific region, and the ability to exclude or include certain sites in the results. Additionally, some search engines such as Kagi and Neeva offer the ability to pay for a subscription to access additional features. One interesting feature is the ability to use keywords in autosuggestions automatically, which can be found in Neeva.
