Google search failed to even find a hollywood movie, even after 1 hour of attempts. I don’t really care about the movie, but I am terrified by the prospect that google now ceased to function on this basic level. Why is this happening?
I understand the explanations of seo and other stuff like spam content. But why are there NO relevant results at all.
I wouldn’t mind having to start wading through results at page 2 or even 10 but now it utterly fails to find even the most basic things.
Things you found on the first attempt even just a year ago. Now they are effectively hidden.
To me functionally the entire internet has now vanished. I cannot access anything that I am searching for. Might as well not exist at all.
Has anybody found a way around this?
Is this on purpose? Is this an attack on the free internet, herding people to just the top 5 sites like facebook, youtube, tiktok, and so forth?
Are there search engines that still work?
Kagi.com for about a year now, absolutely love it. Never Google anymore.
Yep, I use Kagi as well. Great results!
Absolutely. It’s really nice that the middle tier now has unlimited searches too!

Ok? I never said it was cheap. Also, the whole “I want it for cheap” mentality is what got the world to where we are right now. I can afford to pay 10 dollars a month for a search engine because it saves me exponentially more in privacy and more importantly- time.
I thought I deleted my comment, misread yours. I agree
Ah. My bad. I guess I was a bit needlessly aggressive with my comment too.
No worries!
been hearing praise for kagi for ages in underground communities like this and admire what they’re trying to do with the orion browser (although that one is still too buggy for me to use daily), gonna give it a shot now. cheers
