Is it worth it? Should we fight against search engine with workarounds like this? Looks like AI is just another problem with Google Search. But maybe I don't feel this pain like you do. I've fixed them all about a year ago by switching to Kagi and never looked back.

Well, maybe at the beginning a little bit, but I like Kagi results more than Google now.

It is worth it, it is a great search website. Fast, clean, lean, aesthetically inspiring, and provides great results.

It gives some signal that users want a simple web search, but ultimately the HN crowd is a small minority, so it'll be statistically insignificant. I wonder how many strings were pulled to get the web search in in the first place.
