One of the key selling points of the AI search results is that they bypass the problem of wading through SEO slop. Though I’m sure that is just a matter of time.

A bit besides the point, but I have been thinking about this.
I currently use duckduckgo. However I have two problems:
- Most of the results are usually SEO spam
- The page takes a ton of time to load
Google also has the first issue (though not nearly as much), and so do all its wrappers.
The only search engine that made me feel more or less like I was getting decent results was kagi (especially with the fact that I could block and report AI slop and sites that I don’t like), but that’s just too expensive for me normally.
What do ya’ll do for search?

Does using uBlock Origin help?
Or maybe lite.duckduckgo.com/lite/?q=%25s ?
Or html.duckduckgo.com/html/?q=%25sLodeMike@lemmy.today 5 days ago
Bing is just a frontend to various Microsoft products.

Yea, I tried duck duck. I always have to grab Google to get the results i need. I suppose if I was not a power user and in IT that I could take more time to look for results it would work. But for now Google is still king.

Duck uses Bing backend, which is shit at the best of times.
Everyone who actually uses Kagi swears by it, and I am on the brink of actually trying it.Magnum@infosec.pub 4 days ago

(Here for suggestions. I’ve been feeling the same about DDG and Kagi)

I’ve just started blocking SEO slop while using ddg on my main computer. Makes my life easier if it’s just DigitalOcean blogs rather than geeksforgeeks or linuxvox. The latter being full-on ai slop. At least DO/Vultr/whatever actually bothers with content quality because it’s their PaaS.

I run an uncensored gemm4 or qwen3. 6, funny thing you can tell them to giva ya result like google search but their is no publicity. Even google gemma4 is relatively helpful to do srarch. And since search are mostly llm now, no change.

I’ve honestly been using Claude or chatgpt for it and specifically asking for sources. But as they get more desperate for money they’re going to start to have paid sponsorships…
