I'm trying to degoogle. I've heard good things about DuckDuckGo and I've been using it for the past few weeks and it's pretty solid. But I'm just wondering what the Lemmy/Piefed community prefer for a search engine.

It feels like spam to mention Kagi since it's all over the place (even on Hacker News), but I've been a subscriber since the beginning and it made me a "2x programmer" due to their good results.

If I had no money left, I would try SearXNG.

    For programming questions why not use an LLM? The days of searching a specific problem are long done. LLM+Documentation is all you really need now days.

    I learn a lot while I search. LLMs may or may not hallucinate, and I'm not learning.

    Depends how you use LLMs. I didn't say use LLM to solve the problem, I have it breakdown the documentation and make it easier to read/provide examples of usage + explain the steps.

    Stackoverflow also has incorrect answers always marked as correct and isn't a great source to learn from, the best way to learn is just reading documentation and having breakpoints to read the data coming in.

    I had to make a stackoverflow back in the day to correct so many incorrect answers.
