I find it pretty interesting that kagi is rated as Terrible search engine, even ChatGPT preforms better.

    I am both joking and being serious when I say this: the engine doesn’t matter, it’s a skill issue.

      It’s not 2010 anymore. Google has removed or ignores most regex that used to make it work well. It’s not a skill issue. You can’t make the queries you used to be able to do.

      Recently I saw a meme or post or tweet that I can’t find anymore. The gist was: In the 2000s, search engines were arcane tools which could only be used competently by few select people. Nowadays this has changed. Not because people have gotten smarter, but because search engines were dumbed down so much that it’s not possible to use them competently anymore.

        Right? I feel the same about much of software design as well. Been a computer nerd my whole life and it’s never been more difficult to use them competently than it currently is. Incredibly frustrating.
