I have tried using Brave Search (as well as DuckDuckGo) as alternatives to Google but I always had to keep switching back to using Google with the !g bang.

Recently however I have been using Kagi and I think I have found the one search engine that is better than google.

It has been great in every query, allows a ton of customization of ranking, and the people behind it make the Orion browser as well which has been my main driver.

Interesting so many separate search engines recently. Are they all primarily using Bing’s index? Otherwise it would have to be too hard to build up enough of an index and ranking system with how big the web is. Bing itself can’t keep up with the web like Google can.

Most small engines are Bing frontends, yes.

Kagi isn't - which is how we achieve results that people often describe as 'better than Google' ;)
