Best ad-free search results?

This has been a a tough one, Google gives all ad-focused results, and DuckDuckGo gives crap results (imho)

I did find Kagi recently but they charge after 100 free trial searches, and I'm considering paying for it because it's so good. Best results I've gotten anywhere in a long time.

Thanks!

Kagi is pretty decent. It's worth supporting else the space will continue to be dominated by advertising monopolies.

I signed up for it last night for exactly that reason.

Kagi is good at filtering that low effort trash, but it’s behind a subscription

I use kagi and really like it. I find it worth the money as a business owner and software dev. I feel I'm more productive.

You can set up your own "lenses" which are targeted, customized searches and then use a keyword to invoke them. Pretty handy when you routinely search for obscure topics.

The ability to prioritise and pin results from different sites is what won me over. Pinning stackoverflow helps filter a lot of junk when resolving programing issues, and when working with geometry I've pinned or prioritised a few different resources that better explain the mathematics

Get kagi. Easily 10x better than ddg or google.

I've had Qwant foisted on me by Firefox and it's decent enough, I find, no complaints.

I'm curious to know people's thoughts on Startpage. I've been using it exclusively for a good couple months now and like it.

Owned by a for-profit company, and it puts ads on top of your search results now.

Oh really? Man, I thought I was doing good. I never see ads since I use uBlock Origin.
