Are there any good search engines anymore?

I was trying to get a list of all the most recent trans-shooters but everything that comes up is "trans that are killed by XXX" or "mass shootings committed by white men".

I have used Brave search, Duck Duck go and and they give almost the same crap results as Google. Are there any others? It's so frustrating that no matter what I search it's always the left's slant on it...

try Luxxie

However, the point is, % of each group, trans shooters are growing more rapidly than “white males”.

Someone onced post this:

“vacuum cleaners” -site:cnet.com -site:cnn.com -site:co.uk -site:etsy.com -site:go.com -site:google.com -site:merriam-webster.com -site:nytimes.com -site:reddit.com -site:snopes.com -site:youtube.com

It's an a search argument string that will help weed out all the junk you don't want to see. I've used it at times and it does help.

Maybe we should petition Elon Musk to buy Google or DuckDuck or build something actually responsive to the search terms from scratch.

He could call it X-plore.

I’ve really enjoyed Perplexity.

Cones in an app version too.

Brave.com is OK.

Markedly better than Google or Bing.

DDG is OK but is increasingly leftist and relies on third party databases.

[MeanWestTexan]

Brave lets you sort news sources by right or left.

No good search engines exist.

The rumor is, the bumbling Russians are geniuses at internet misinformation which bamboozles gullible Americans.(sarcasm)

In my opinion, no.

I use DuckDuckGo outside of work for privacy reasons, but don't find it all that effective a search engine sometimes. Not enamored with Brave search by any means. Sometimes I have to give up and use Google. And IMHO, Google at one point was the best search engine ever at its peak, but that's years ago now. I often have to find things online for work that are particularly difficult searches which require weeding out a lot of false positives. But the trend in virtually all the search engines lately is to broaden searches beyond the actual search terms the user provides, which just translates into more chaff. Throw in AI-generated crap websites that are good at gaming algorithms, and internet searches aren't nearly as effective as they once were. It's sad to see such an important part of technology go backward instead of improving like most other aspects.

And of course, all the above isn't even beginning to take into account search manipulation and censorship to favor the Left...

Try Luxxle for something different.
I try to use any and all other search engines for anything political.
I’ll use Google for any non-political search. Good luck. Let us know if you find anything good.

I keep seeing ads online for “results hunter” or something like that. The guy says he made it for conservatives but I never clicked the ad link to find out more.

Give Presearch a try.

https://www.lycos.com/ Is still active after all these years, and doesn’t yet seem to be plagued by the typical woke algorithms.

Not as fast as people claiming mass shooters are trans without evidence. Which is causing the confusion to begin with.

Google and Microsoft are extremely liberal and completely anti Trump. Will continue to use Duck Duck Go.

[caww]

Musk is putting one together I understand

Are there any more real cowboys? Rhetorical question.
