What am I looking at here?
The top result is the resume of the Unabomber for President political action committee UNAPACK
Why do you think that ended up as the top result?
The word “resume” + being an old and solid link + me using a search engine with settings that allow you to customize which places to search, and I’m not returning results from all major search engines and only keeping alternative ones.
This works fine for work or when coding. It searches Stack Overflow and forums, immensely useful when trying to research things or solve problems.
Ah ok.
i use Kagi. its paid but it is so refreshing not getting ads and being able to tune the search results.
Looks interesting, I’m considering it
which search alternative is this?
looks like Searxng
Yep that is the one, but I customized which engines I get results from and decided that almost all major ones have sucked so I took them all out (the four horsemen, Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo, and Brace)
Maybe you should add brave search in the search engines that searxng use. I’m using it since almost one year and except for images I never had weird results
Oh and I don’t know if qwant is really good for English searches since it’s a French search engine(however it is almost perfect for french searches)
deleted by creator
I removed it on purpose. Trying my best to rely on any search engine other than Google, Brave, DuckDuckGo, and Bing.
Why not duckduckgo? I’d been using them since I had heard they were good and can be trusted for the most part.
I used to use it but honestly grew tired of getting the same search results. The same Medium article, the same video, the same news report at the top. I often feel like I only see the tip of the iceberg, and often never find what I need.
