Try https://millionshort.com

Search without the top 1m (or 100k) sites. Far from perfect, but it tunes out an awful lot of the commerce that Google prioritise. You start finding the old school forums and info sites that are mostly invisible to Google.

I try to use this as much as I can, especially if I'm looking for content from "real people" sites, i.e. blogs set up by individuals to share their thoughts.

Those are a breath of fresh air in this day and age, when 90% of blogs appearing on search are SEO-optimized solopreneur websites that hit you with cookie warnings and "free ebook" email lead gen popups the second you arrive on the page.

Great suggestion! I'd not heard of the site before. Just searched for smoothie recipes and was shown lots of small blogs/food sites instead of the usual suspects with heavy advertising.

I’ve been looking for something like this for over a year. Thank you.
