I started a new job where I have to use windows, and more than once I didn’t realize I was using bing until I went to turn on verbatim and it wasn’t an option.

Side note, I miss search engines from 20 years ago, I can’t believe it’s gotten this bad.

Kagi is pretty good.

I love being able to raise, lower, and remove sites across all my searches. No need to include things such as -stackoverflow for every search. I can choose to have it appear only when there are not quality results by lowering its priority.

DuckDuckGo has served me pretty well for the past couple of years.

Also, their AI offering duck.ai is pretty solid as well.

It's my daily driver too. Quality is ok but not as good as Google from a few years ago. Snippets (especially code) and shortcuts are cool. It's less censored than Google, but then they went on and censored russian propaganda during the war.

They completely lost all their credibility. I don't care how bad or good the content it is, I want a service without censorship.

For copyrighted content they are a bit better than Google but worse than Yandex - simply because 90% of DMCA strikers agencies bother reporting a google search result, 50% bother with duckduckgo, 10% bother with Yandex.
