Just switched to my own SearXNG instance. Won't go back. Even did a PR for better Google Answers integration.

I continue to be one of the happiest customers for Kagi, a service that I am so happy to pay (for my family as well).

To be clear, there are some widgets that might be useful in some cases, but it should not be all you see (and it should definitely not include similar stuff as if the focus for any search is just to find more stuff to consume and please advertisers...).

'Member when they said 'don't be evil'?

I havent used google as my search engine for a year now, I use duckduckgo instead, and it has been very few times where I have longed for (old) google.

Are those the Results of the Search of the Rise of the Return of the Planet of the Apes?

Use a better search engine.

Those of you who "can't live without google", need to get a grip.

The IMDb is there at the top. Just Under the white YouTube box. It tells the rating. But if you click it goes to the IMDb page for it

But this genuinely feels sensible?

The generated abstract includes the commonly needed links - including the IMDB you want and Rotten Tomatoes that I frequently want - and the very first result after that is Wikipedia for when you need that.

It's like the best abstraction so you don't have to wade through results, correctly understanding that if you search by just the title, you probably want information of through-links to common information/review sites.

I've been working on a stylus theme for all the sites I use including duckduckgo and startpage that cuts out any and all bullshit like this

Lmk if you want a copy of it, some of the sites work on mobile too if you're using a browser that supports extensions (Firefox)

You used Google

What did you expect?

Member Googles!?

This is why I use a search proxy. Still get Google results but with all the crap stripped away. Plus I can write custom search options so if I go ! imdb rise of the planet of the apes it will do the search and just take me to the first result
