I've grown increasingly frustrated with Google search results lately. Every time I ask a simple question like "How do I do X?", I'm bombarded with irrelevant AI-generated answers and a ton of ads instead of actual helpful content. I've switched from Chrome to Firefox and am using UBlock to block ads, but I'm still in search of a decent search engine. Does anyone have suggestions that might work better?

Remember Dogpile? It’s a metasearch engine that pulls results from multiple sources like Google and Bing. I haven't used it in years, but it could be worth checking out. Just a throwback for those who miss the simpler days of searching!
Have you tried DuckDuckGo? It might help reduce the ad clutter if you're not clicking on sponsored links—they won't make money from you. It has its ups and downs, but it's a decent alternative if you want to avoid the noise from Google.
Honestly, most search engines seem to fall short these days. Just a heads up, if you see anyone hyping up "Kagi"—I'd be skeptical. I've tried it, and it wasn't great. Switching to a privacy-focused search engine might be your best bet since they won't track you while providing mediocre results.
