I suspect that this is the direct result of AI generated content just overwhelming any real content.

I tried ddg, google, bing, quant, and none of them really help me find information I want these days.

Perplexity seems to work but I don't like the idea of AI giving me "facts" since they are mostly based on other AI posts

ETA: someone suggested SearXNG and after using it a bit it seems to be much better compared to ddg and the rest.

they're pretty bad, but ddg at least feels like I'm getting actual results.

Yeah DDG is great. The only thing I find is its not good at local results but a quick !g on the end gets me the local results im looking for.

What does !g do? Add Google results?

If you’re using ddg without !bangs - you’re only having half the fun.
