I evaluated Kagi a couple of months ago, but its results were swamped with AI slop, too. These days, it's mostly DuckDuckGo for me.

- fransje26 10mo agoDuckDuckGo has also been my goto for years, but it is also getting swamped with SEO-rigged spam sites. 2 days ago I was making multiple searches looking for the websites of specific hotels and spa facilities, and none of them showed up in the first 4 pages of results, even when searching by exact name. Out of desperation I switched back to Google, and, surprisingly, it was willing to give me what I was looking for on the first page. (But not as first result, of course..)
