I remember when search engines were actually useful and allowed you to find unique and quirky shit that actually contains good information.
Is there any search engine as good as old Google?
Jonathan Hernandez
DuckDuckGo
Chase Wood
That's just NuGoogle with a proxy.
Brandon Morgan
Nah you're thinking of Startpage

>Is there any search engine as good as old Google?
no. there isn't. and it's a serious problem. I run my own YaCy node - it's a p2p based search engine. Look it up. It's sorting algorithm is barely better than random and this is a problem. But it does have a whole lot of search-results that are censored from google and bing. It does need to be improved. Getting a viable p2p search engine, be it a better YaCy or something else, is getting very urgent as censorship is increasing rapidly.
I also use search.disroot.org
not alternatives! and you're better off using either a public or your own searx instance if you think they are. duckduckgo and startpage are just proxies for other search-engines. they claim they don't track you and that's probably true - but that really doesn't make a difference when the results are censored.

Why does google find nothing but completely off topic and corporate shit nowadays
Evan Wright
Is this a reason, why I can't find anything with jegle?

I suspect it's because of their shared monopoly with Bing. They used to have to try hard to become the best possible search engine so people would use it. Now both Google and Bing believe people are going to use them regardless of what they do because of all the pre-installs with their defaults - so they present you the results they'd like you to see, not the ones you're looking for.
One small note on Bing, btw, since most don't know this: It's actually very "popular" (as in many people use it) and also very profitable (yes, really).
Ian Bennett
No
Blame tag spamming

Don't forget search engine optimization - one of the riders of the apocalypse.

on one hand, Google intentionally fucks with certain search results. They politicize everything and obscure any "alternative" information. The image results being politicized is the easiest way to see this in action. Search "white couple" and you'll get the exact opposite of what you wanted, because they rigged it that way.
on the other hand, no other search engine provides better results than Google for obscure stuff, like technical issues with a program that only a handful people in the world use. Or if you don't know exactly what you're looking for and just use a bunch of key words, Google is the best at figuring out what you wanted.
It sucks. I just want Google minus the botnet and poz.

Google is just the beginning. Progressives will enforce statistical bias to make machine learning a safe space for women and minorities.

What, did you really think machine learning was safe? Everything is political, shitlords.

>search engine optimization
SEO hasn't been an issue for years. Google and Bing has been smart about it and penalized it for quite a while. It doesn't make difference to their search algo or censorship algo. It is a problem for everyone trying to write their own search-engine, though. YaCy isn't smart enough to see through it. It's an issue for small players and p2p search engines but it sure ain't why Google and Bing are so bad these days, that's just a result of plain censorship.
That example aside, Google saying "you can't have those results because we don't like those, try these we think you should see instead" is very problematic. It is specially so because we have already seen how Google uses search results in order to attempt to swing elections.
