I've been experimenting with https://kagi.com/.

For technical questions, they prioritize official documentation and SO. They don't serve you all those copy-pasta blogs that plague Google results.

For product reviews, they prioritize reddit and other forums by default. It's still far from perfect, but at least they're trying.

I’ve been using Kagi for months. Before Kagi, I used DDG and would often have to switch to Google. With Kagi I almost never switch to a different search engine.

Kagi does a great job returning results with less SEO spam. It’s fast and has a great interface. Big fan.

I like your description but it has a login wall so hard no. Cool concept!

Behind that login wall is a free trial. Search is apparently pretty expensive, so I imagine they’re just trying to prevent spam.

Bot spam is a very big problem. Very hard to prevent, and if you're using cloud compute or SaaS APIs it can get very expensive.

Hey I love when I see you post on here. Thanks for all you do.

Few free searches to show case your product is probably better.

Chatgpt3 will fail if they close their free access.

It takes money to make money.

Both Kagi and OpenAI offer free limited access, and I believe both require an account to use the free tier.
