What search engine is currently showing the most useful results? What other tricks do we have aside of adding "reddit" or whatever internet community to the results?

Use a decentralized SearXNG instance and have it query every search engine that exists on the internet, or host your own of you're really actually worried about privacy, and never look back.

    I just tried two of the instances listed with a search for "how to filter mineral spirits", and they both gave me errors. Both Google and DDG gave me an answer. Is there some trick I'm missing here?

    SearXNG is great.

    I think the features I'm missing are easily adding more engines (haven't looked much into it), and automatically blacklisting domains from coming up in searches.

    +1 for SearXNG… I run my own instance in docker, and host it through a cloud flare tunnel. I set all my “web browser bars” on all my devices to auto use its address, so I don’t even have to think about it, and all my searches are auto routed through my instance. It’s Great!
