I am very frustrated with Google search results right now. I do use it to search for facts only and it is my main calculator app now. But that's it.
I have been adding "reddit" to search terms since two-three years ago.
And I have been made aware of two new search providers: kagi and you.com.
Kagi was announced in HN, I believe , and I am now a beta user, and I am surprised at its quality.
It does not pull underhanded shit like Google does, and although it is better than Google in filtering out spammy, SEO sites, I would say- not by much. My overall experience is much better with kagi than with Google. I found myself grumbling towards it after I failed with Google in initial days, but now I go straight to kagi itself.
I like you.com but hasn't used it much. It is nice to see varieties categorised in one single page.
Google will certainly lose any user who can be categorised as "power users" even by a jiffy.
That includes High School students researching for papers they are writing and aquarium users searching about fishes.
