Someone recently posted a hot tip about adding "before:2023" to Google web searches and I forget who it was but wow what a huge difference it makes. So thank you to whoever that was. It gets rid of so much AI-generated SEO crap.
I just tested it out by typing in “Sonic the hedgehog fanart”. For once, I was able to get some decent images without being bombarded by uncanny valley ai-generated images of Sonic wearing Rouge’s outfit or poorly-drawn inflation art. So it seems to be off to a good start.
It go so much worse lately it’s on par with Google. I’m out of search engines tbf
I have been okay with Startpage. Been returning good results for me.

Trying Searx currently.
Didn’t Searx lose support and maintenance?
Do tell.
I am currently testing the fork SearxNG, which still has development this week.
Let me know any concerns about SearxNG. Seems to be solid so far.
Here is the about page.
OK wasn’t my imagination then.
