MODERATORS
I was introduced to it by an IRL friend of mine very early on and was very sceptical. I then tried it many months later and what actually convinced me most are its "advanced" features. They're features that should obviously be in any search engine but since there's been practically 0 innovation in this space in the past decade or so, this is very refreshing.
The results being on par with Google at the worst also helps.
Pretty much everything about it is really great. The only thing that's not great is that you're required to identify yourself with every search. I'm not aware of any alternative for a paid search engine though. They claim to not log or otherwise abuse your PII and it's believable but there's still a risk.
I guess the price is also kinda high but it's justified AFAICT.
