Edit: downvotes from people I can only assume are mad that they’ve been tracked by Microsoft this whole time and can’t figure out how to properly channel their anger
It’s a sad day when Bing is better than Google, but we’ve been there for a while. Not to say either is good, I switched to a self hosted SearXNG a while ago and it’s so much better.
I tried the same and must admit I got frustrated with SearXNG. The lack of customization is really frustrating, or maybe too difficult to find if it’s there.
Not the person you’re replying to, but you could try DuckDuckGo
Ddg is crap. I pretty much immediately went back to google.
Thought the same thing too… until I learned how to use it lol
Which is how? Had same experience, tried it for a few days and went back pretty much instantly.

That’s just Bing with extra slop

I consistently get much worse results with DDG/Bing than Google.
Edit: downvotes? My personal experience is wrong?
If you’re still using Google I don’t think you should be complaining about the AI slop elsewhere.
You might note that I’m not suggesting alternatives that are just as sloppy and worse overall.
I did note that you are not suggesting alternatives, yes.
I would if I had found anything better.
Poorer results while not bending the knee to facists sounds better to me, but you do you.
From the guy going into the profiles of people they disagree with in order to downvote unrelated posts…
