Which search engine do you guys use?

Google is so terrible these days. Trying to search for some skyrim stuff (editing/modding related) and i just come up with 0 results after 0 results.. if this was 5+ years ago i would've come up with several pages of hits (i know for a fact since i used to google these things).

mostly everything i search is better and faster with google.
except for copyright stuff like porn, seems google is a little bit faster (surprise) then ms when it comes to removing search results, so you will get some stuff on bing which you would never find on google (or pretty hard)

wasn't impressed with bing either :/ i'm wondering if i'm missing some search engine which is kind of like google 10 years ago, but i guess that's pretty unlikely..

quite the decline for internet as a whole because the search engines are obviously an important part.

I'm using google whenever I try something else I get even worse results

When searching for a lot of things like guides or support or whatever I usually just use google to search reddit specifically since I need discussions of actual people to get the good info, and regular search results are often full of AI generated websites and articles these days that are completely worthless

for some stuff like what was that one movie where this weird thing happened, I use chatgpt sometimes now. or to find recommendations of similar things.

Yeah, Google Map/Street view are just lightyears ahead than the rest, no questions there.

But otherwise, I like DDG very much. Never had trouble finding anything Smile
