I have found google to be aggravating enough these days that I've experimentally switched my default search engine to Yahoo. It feels a lot like the old (good) google, though only having 5 results per page is a bit disappointing. So far so good, will probably stick to it for a while.

I'm old enough to remember what AltaVista search and the rest were like before Google.

It feels exactly like that today.

Google didn't need to improve much over the years to stay in business; they only needed to keep ahead of the SEO spammers. They did that for a while. But now we have SundarGoogle which expended active energy getting worse and worse and worse.

Google is done.

Short term driven thinking for sure.

I’m loving KAGI search, wasn’t a fan of DDG.

Agreed. Interesting that Yahoo was your choice. I may try it as well (have experimented with DDG and Bing a bit, but haven't used Yahoo since it was the only option back in the day).

I've gone completely off piste and started using Yandex. It's excellent! More Russian results, of course, but I can generally find what I'm after.

I'm always mildly surprised to remember that Yahoo still exists. I'd honestly forgotten that they even had a search engine in the first place.

Why Yahoo, might I ask? It's just Bing engine with another name...

[srgpqt]

Yahoo just feels less cluttered than the others, and that counts a lot in my book.

You feel Yahoo is less cluttered than DDG?
