for the non opinionated, duckduckgo with an adblocker has served me just fine for the better part of a decade.

you can simply set the search as you like and save as a search url [1] that can be set in the browser once and forget.

their bangs are useful to search directly in a specific site (e.g. useful workaround for reddit search results not coming anymore). when i tried kagi, i noticed that they have adopted a similar system, which has to be inspired.

my overall search experience has been poor even before the GPTs, but this is just fine for almost everything.
