ninjan,

Word. It’s ridiculous how hard it is to get good hits these days. And while GPT makes shit up sometimes it’s at least related to what I’m actually asking about. Google desperately wants to show the SEO optimized pages about something tangentially related instead of the page which actually has relevant information.

Getting a solid old forum hit for an obscure DNS issue takes a lot more work these days.

It’s Googles fault, but it’s not the algorithm getting worse, everyone is just too good at gaming it which fucks it up for everyone (the humanity special).

troglodytis,

But we can still get Orange Julius, right?

Right?

ratzki,

We need “Google find” instead of “Google search”.

So what is the best search engine for programming?

ChatGPT 4

tdawg,

To the point that it’s actually painful when you run out of time and it reverts to 3.x for the rest of the day

sznowicki,

I’m making one right now. It’s still kinda rough and MVP but soon should be more mature and useful. Try it out: kukei.eu

Wow, this is so cool, is it based on something?

sznowicki,

No, I’m working on it since a week from scratch. Had a idea and since also had some time I immediately started to realise it and here I am now :D Waiting for 300K pages to be crawled so I can add more sources there :D

scottmeme,

I use a self hosted whole instance because I still enjoy the Google SEO

I basically only go there when DDG hasn’t indexed the Stack Exchange/Overflow Q&A I’m looking for.

Also decentralized SE/SO when?

HowManyNimons,

So, what, Bing then?

NateSwift,

I’ve been pretty happy with DuckDuckGo. Some people have made the switch to using a search engine aggregate thing like SearXNG. And then there’s the one $12/month search engine I’ve heard people talk fondly of that I can’t remember the name of.

SpaceNoodle,

DDG has Bing under the hood.

Kagi? It’s $5 where I am, or $10 for unlimited searches and AI tools. YMMV

NateSwift,

Yes! Definitely was Kagi. Not sure why I remembered $12 instead of $10.
