Not OC, but I'm using Kagi and super happy. Before I use Kagi, I didn't realise how bad Google result is. Its results are poisoned by ads and SEO nowadays.
I still am using Google and I hate how useless it has become since SEO started to become a thing in the last 5 or 10 years. Maybe I should try Kagi. Does it have location specific search results
more on the 10 years end of that, i remember thinking results were declining ~2011 when they decided to start being ask jeeves
Yeah, since about 2016 it has started to get really bad though. I remember when I would be looking for a solution to a computer related issue, all the top results were super useful Tom's Hardware and AnandTech forum posts. But of course nobody does SEO for forum posts because they're just trying to help people not make money, so instead now all of the probably AI written crap is in the top results which half the time is only barely related to what I searched
