Noticed the problem at some point after I finished the first draft of my book. It became abundantly clear that their algorithms had changed dramatically.
Because I do research, I don't want searches tailored to my BIASES.
There needs to be a toggle button at the top of the browser. ALL browsers, including another to turn off 'ranked results'.
I have yet to find a suitable browser for hard research and will review this thread later for suggestions.
Amen to that. I do not want my biases catered to.
I enjoyed searches 15 to 20 years ago. I could find what I was looking for and I could find surprises.

Elon Musk should start a new search engine. As a guess, I would say he is probably working on it at some level right now.
Forget ever getting one of these korporations to change their search engine. Someone could make millions buy building a separate tool that takes all the results from a search engine (or multiple search engines) and then filters them downstream, where the search engine is "blind" to the downstream filtering. The censoring korporations can continue to collect their money from globalists while the users can have a tool that actually works.
Users could select such options as:
-"Don't show results from my blocked site list." (I don't want to see garbage from ABCCBSCNNNBCNPRNYTWAPO etc.)
-"Don't show results from sites that require a subscription that I don't have."
-"Include ads." or "Don't include ads."
-"Use my search history." or "Don't use my search history."
-"Run it again but don't include results from previous searches."
-"Search with my profile A,B,C..." (I'm searching as part of my job., I'm searching for personal reasons., etc.)
-"Rerun my saved search."
The downstream engine could also have the option to export your saved searches, profiles, etc. for you to use on other devices and also to share with others.
