What search engine is currently showing the most useful results? What other tricks do we have aside of adding "reddit" or whatever internet community to the results?

I downvoted because I have literally no idea what that guy is talking about.

Bing has never been a good search engine. The results are always so terrible, plus you have to wade through all the Microsoft click-baity crap they put everywhere.

I do like Bing for porn tho...

the clickbait alone is enough to turn me away from Bing and Edge

cool that people don't mind it but it shouldn't be controversial to dislike Bing for bad UX

Notice that they said chat. It this new thing where a language model (GPT) formulates the search queries and summarizes them to provide an answer.

Have you tried using the Chat feature (GPT-4) to do searching? I just tried it, and it surprisingly works really well for some inquiries.

Like, use their chat AI, but as a natural language search engine. It’s integrated to Bing’s index so it can peruse it itself, so you don’t have to wade through all the Microsoft click-baits crap they put everywhere.

You can't use it on mobile without downloading the app and granting it god knows what permissions. Hell nah...

I am using the app and I've given it zero permissions.

Have can you be so confidently judgemental without even installing it.
