(In your opinion)
I’m using DDG, but I’m not satisfied with it. The quality of answers is subpar and I find myself switching to google or LLMs when I’m researching some things where community opinion matter (for some reason reddit and forums are undervalued by DDG algorithm).
I could try daily driving alternatives, but I know I will be biased and it will noticably slow down my workflows.


I host SearXNG on my home server, and I configured it to provide better results than Google.
I tried Kagi. It’s nice, but the price is a bit high for a search engine.
How do you “configure it to provide better results than Google”? Not trying to call you out, but I assume your measure of what is better is highly subjective. If it would be down to simple config changes to get quality superior to Google search, OP wouldn’t have to ask this question.
