What search engine are you guys using now? Any workaround?

I wonder about the odds that Google would buy reddit. Not saying it's a good thing, but it could be a strategic play for them.

Super interesting the trick we all thought was a secret, stopped working, and now executives from one of the worlds biggest companies are having trouble as a result lol

I've been using qwant for a couple years now without any issue. It mainly uses Bing as a backend.

I discovered the kagi search engine last week and it's so much better. No ads. I can move favored sites up or pin them in the search results.

Edit: Found out they only allow 100 searches for free, after that it's a paid monthly subscription. So ignore my previous advice...

This is a good change as it may expand to more sites. I'm one of those users that used reddit in query often looking for opinions or reviews. We should get Lemmy on the list.
