I'd suggest moving to Kagi, or if you can't afford that Mojeek and then click through to Startpage results when Mojeek doesn't return what you need.
DuckDuckGo is now DuckDuckGone as far as I'm concerned.

I see people complaining a lot about the #enshittification of web search engines. @austincnunn proposed using the subscription-only search provider #kagi instead.
I gave it a try, and most others, I guess, should do the same.
Especially search personalization (instead of results paid for by 3rd parties) makes the internet a different place.
Trial is free. I'll decide about a subscription later on.
Appreciate the recognition from Cory Doctorow:
"This year saw some new, exciting discovering and challenges. First and foremost is my switch to kagi.com as my preferred search-engine, which is like having access to a time machine that's connected to pre-enshittificated Google"
"Kagi's image search is amazing, far better than Google's, and it has great copyright-based filters."

The web we want isn't free, but it's worth paying for.
OK I have managed to get one of those free 3 months trials of this paid #Kagi search thing from a kind person on here. I'm sceptical, but let's see how it goes.
Added Kagi summarizer support to chatgpt-shell

I highly recommend subscribing to the "Kagi Small Web - Appreciated Posts" #RSS feed. It's posts from the Kagi Small Web feed that have been "upvoted" by the community.
Kagi's new translation service keeps knocking it out of the park. I have been challenging it with more nuanced aphorisms, weird turns of phrase, stuff that Google, Reverso, and DeepL all get close, but subtly wrong, and Kagi is nailing it every time.
This is deliberately difficult. It is designed as a Dutch tongue twister, and grammatical trickery, using homophones/homonyms, designed to make your average student cry.
This translation is, as far as I can tell, flawless.
The one digital thing that has made my life unquestionably better in 2024 is #Kagi search.
In the constant flood of #enshittification turning online services & channels gradually worse, it's a beacon of hope that you can still A) pay for a search engine and B) get a great user experience in return.
Don't settle for search tools force-feeding you GenAI crap. Try Kagi: https://kagi.com/
To all our amazing Kagi users, we're grateful for you! As a token of our appreciation, you can now share the gift of better search with three friends or family members. You should have received an email with the details
If you'd like 3 free months of #Kagi private ad-free search engine, DM me your email address. I have 3 to give away.
Edit: I've given them all away!
Google is required to include any search engine that meets specific criteria, such as having an app with over 5,000 installs, in the default list for Android and Chrome.
We'd love it if you install the Kagi app and help us meet the criteria! We're almost there:
