What search engine is currently showing the most useful results? What other tricks do we have aside of adding “reddit” or whatever internet community to the results?

    If it isn’t open / free / private there is a % of the community that will not even try it.

    Just like on Reddit lots of negative energy in some subs.

    Hardly saying bing is amazing only that lately I have been drawn to trying it more since the chat based search that allows follow ups in natural language.

    Google bards equivalent is only available in the US and just this last week the UK so I can’t try it out.

    However over all I agree that more and more google search results have more adds and the good results pushed further and further down.

      I don’t like the idea of getting answers from a search engine. That gives too much power to the company that runs the search engine. Id prefer to get a variety of links from independent sources.

        Have it compile a list of sources it’s already sourced from, and keep searching for any new sources it can add. Have it list its expectations for what an expert should know about a particular subject, then have it learn about each of those points, and finally present as if it is an expert there to assist you.
