The results are fascinating. It’s essentially Google, minus the crap. No parsing of the information in the results. No surfacing metadata like address or link info. No knowledge panels, but also, no ads. It looks like the Google we learned to love in the early 2000s, buried under the "More" menu like lots of other old things Google once did more to emphasize, like Google Books.

or... use an alternative. Seriously, google is getting worse. Its not that hard to beat now. I use DuckDuckGo (mainly just bc I like the UI, and it's not google)

I don't think DDG is an alternative (basically bing in a trenchcoat), but your point is valid.

yeah, I've tried switching but their feature of "!a frog plushie" turns into searching Amazon for frog plushie is super helpful and it's hard to leave it behind πŸ₯²

That IS a nice feature, !w for wiki !bc for bandcamp etc... I had good faith in this project. I made a lot of noise about it when it came out. To the point where they "rewarded" me with my avatar showing up blinking alternately with πŸ™Œ emoji, right where the DDG logo is, if anyone queried for one of my nicknames. I'm not easily going to be doing something like that ever again. 😞
