what are good search engines now? because most of the ones i try seem to be pretty shit, these days.
the other night, NPR played a snippit of JJ Cale's "Call The Doctor" as bump music, and, not knowing it, i began searching the lyrics i heard on the internet.
i try duckduckgo first, obviously. somebody call for a doctor i think i'm sick been over a week and i get a bunch of fucking shit back about covid. i add the word "lyrics" before the lyrics and i get the same crap. i try google and i get the same crap; covid test blah blah fuck off
point is -- so often i run a web search now, and i feel like the nuance has all but disappeared. you're reliably jammed into the factory farm; the dumbest, most mass-market interpretation of your query. it used to be that google felt uncannily clever; that's what made the bastards. now it's collapsed into being a phone menu with a tedious list of options, none of which are what you want
so what's good now. is that altavista thing any better?

i mean you search for a PDF manual the last thing you want is the sites that are everywhere; they're crap

to whoever runs all those sites poisoning search results for service manuals, i hope you die slowly and painfully over hours and hours after your foot gets trapped under a parked crate truck containing 20 tons of returned counterfeit goods

i'd also like to remind google that, while i may run adblock and stymie your every attempt to eat your way into my life like a termite (you hate me for it [how dare i not recognize the glory of india via surrendering my digital identity]) -- i am still the person people call when asked which tech thing to choose
