They’re somehow WORSE than duckduckgo nowadays like how? You were the search leader, people used DDG for privacy reasons but they passed you??? Did you forget why you’re a company? It’s because you were the best fucking search engine ever and you decided to sell that title for ads or some shit. Incredible how Google fell off the fucking side of a mountain they themselves built!
For me it went from “great” to “usable” over the course of a decade or so, and then from “usable” to “worthless” over the course of six months. It’s a remarkably awful trajectory.
And DuckDuckGo lacks basic stuff such as keyword exclusion. (It’s my main search engine for the last few years after Startpage got bought, but lacking keyword exclusion sucks!)

Yes, but have you considered, line must go up?

you can -something , but it isn’t full exclusion. It’s generally been good enough for me. I agree the full fat version would be nice.
So far I haven’t had any luck with -something “soft” exclusions either.
Yea I bailed after they nerfed exclusions and whatnot but not like the others are slam dunks
Kagi is even better than DDG. Google is absolutely horrendous.
It’s interesting, but $120 a year is just too much for me.
The lowest plan is only $54 a year and it’s most definitely worth it for the results.
300 searches a month is just way too little for my usage
