All searches using google are now useless.
also, am grumpy, am edgy, no patience, getting frustrated
too much coffee, not enough sleep
startpage.com is pretty good for search. Also kagi,com, but that is subscription based. I use both.
It's frustrating, having gotten used to having so much information available and then having it taken away by corporate greed.
can't even search amazon or ebay anymore, they barely follow search criteria, just give "sponsored" results
Dogpile.com and startpage.com
Thanks for these, I'm always up for an alternative.
Feel sorry for youngsters. They will never know google when it was good, and have no idea how to use a library.
