CNBC shared this from a Google all-hands this month: One tool to try and help with that is Google’s new Perspectives feed that’s designed to show results from humans. But now that many of the protesting subreddits have opened up, the Reddit trick isn’t as nerfed as it used to be.
It’s a subscription-based search engine. From what I’ve seen, the results seem pretty good compared to everything else at this point, but IDK if I’d want to pay monthly for search (though honestly I’m seriously considering it at this point).
As someone who’s been a paid user for a few months now, it is totally worth it. It has its moments where I need to try another engine, but the vast majority of the time it’s way better. The ability to rank sites is a game changer, and as a bonus I can block Pinterest and the usual fluff from results and never see them again.
That’s interesting that lemmy doesn’t generate canonicals. I would have thought that the original instance something is posted on would set the canonical, and other instances can point back to that - it really seems like this sort of problem is exactly what canonicals are made for. Does anyone know if there’s a reason for not using them (other than dev time, which is 100% a good reason)?

I bet it still respects search modifiers? Both DDG and Google frequently ignore mine.

Oh snap, + 1 for Kagi usage, I’ll try your implementation
