I remember a time where you would get multiple results from a search with no scrolling (sh.itjust.works)

Edit:

The poll stopped me in my tracks but it's actually even worse.

It should not take this long to get to imdb

Edit2: didn't even realize it thinks I'll "love it" based on things I look up. I don't think I'd like it.

Edit³: IMDb was the example I used without thinking. I'm aware that there's a link to it in the top card. It's the other web results that I don't already know about that I'd like to see. I now know there's a hidden "web" tab. There's also https://www.google.com/search?udm=14&q=example` but it's still mildly infuriating that you have to know about these things to get the basic results we expected for years.

But if you go to another site, Google will have to pay them when they show you adverts!

Just switched to my own SearXNG instance. Won't go back. Even did a PR for better Google Answers integration.

[–] linearchaos@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

SearXNG is the best

[–] AnarchistArtificer 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Man, I hate people like you, because I am constantly reminded of how I really need to get round to checking out Searx, but I never get round to it.

(I am joking, because the only person who is putting pressure on me about this is me, and that's because finding time to do this is something I want to do. Thank you for reminding me, even if I will keep procrastinating)

[–] linearchaos@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

NGL, it's a pain in the ass to get it done the first time.

Docker -> Cloudflare is a lot of learning if you don't already have the skillset.

And it does have issues on locale based searches, when meta searches do geo lookups, you end up on partner nodes.

I havent used google as my search engine for a year now, I use duckduckgo instead, and it has been very few times where I have longed for (old) google.

[–] udon@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

Are those the Results of the Search of the Rise of the Return of the Planet of the Apes?

Use a better search engine.

Those of you who "can't live without google", need to get a grip.

'Member when they said 'don't be evil'?

[–] primrosepathspeedrun@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago (4 children)

all of us 'you cant keep relying on corporations, they will betray you, every single corporate product you consume is basically the one ring' open source nerds get to say the MOST satisfying "I told you so"'s. nobody cares, of course, you'll all keep using this shit, but it feels SO good.

I've been working on a stylus theme for all the sites I use including duckduckgo and startpage that cuts out any and all bullshit like this

Lmk if you want a copy of it, some of the sites work on mobile too if you're using a browser that supports extensions (Firefox)

The IMDb is there at the top. Just Under the white YouTube box. It tells the rating. But if you click it goes to the IMDb page for it

[–] sudneo@lemm.ee 3 points 1 month ago (3 children)

I continue to be one of the happiest customers for Kagi, a service that I am so happy to pay (for my family as well).

To be clear, there are some widgets that might be useful in some cases, but it should not be all you see (and it should definitely not include similar stuff as if the focus for any search is just to find more stuff to consume and please advertisers...).

[–] Tinks@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

100% agree. I've been using Kagi for a bit over a month now and I love it. My one and only complaint is business hours can be harder to find - I have to actually click into their website for it. That's it though! Everything else is dramatically less painful in my opinion. I don't need business hours frequently enough for it to matter though, and if needed I can use Google for that one thing.

Kagi has been a breath of fresh air

[–] sudneo@lemm.ee 2 points 1 month ago

Completely agree, I started seeing business hours popping up lately, I know that they know it's an area of improvement.

It's a premium service but it has very nice features and is a good product overall.

[–] seliaste@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Kagi's ceo statements makes me hate it

[–] sudneo@lemm.ee 3 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I am not a fan of some of his ideas either, especially the ones tending towards libertarianism. Some other ideas instead are quite decent, like how he thinks companies should give back to the community. He also built a tech company without VC funding and with a good share of ownership for workers (which I think is nice), without any marketing (which I despise as industry) and generally without the predatory nature that 98% of tech companies have nowadays.

I am sure you are referring to the Brave debacle of months back, and FWIW, I agree with his position on that particular issue. Anyway, considering that I have no ideas about the positions for the CEOs/founders of the alternatives, I think it's still a very worthy compromise to have a good product (incl. nonfunctional qualities like privacy, ecological impact etc.).

This is why I use a search proxy. Still get Google results but with all the crap stripped away. Plus I can write custom search options so if I go ! imdb rise of the planet of the apes it will do the search and just take me to the first result
