I’m someone that grew up with AltaVista and thus I’m pretty good with my search terms and modifiers. And I often remember specific phrases from the websites I’m looking for. However, Google is more and more optimised for people NOT knowing what they’re looking for and is now even ignoring “quotes” for exact terms unless you switch it to verbatim mode. Which is a shame. I’m mostly using my personal SearXNG instance and am still finding what I’m looking for. On systems where I don’t have access to that, I’m currently trying Mojeek and experiment with Marginalia. Both rather traditional search engines. I’m not a big fan of using LLMs for this. I rather punch in 3-5 keywords instead of explaining to some LLM what I’m looking for.
