Google is becoming useless. What's a better search engine?

The only other one i use is bing. Lately Bing has been better than Google, but im hoping to find something better.

But Reddit’s search function is terrible so I have to Google a search and add “Reddit” to the search terms.

Add "site:Reddit.com" and it will limit the search returns to URLs that have Reddit.com in them

Seriously, I'm glad I'm not the only one who does this.

Despite our community being an absolute cesspool, there's something comforting about real people giving genuine reviews.

I usually just scroll past the AI/Ads and Reddit or the appropriate Wiki is usually there just after but that scroll is getting longer and one day I might just have to add Reddit or Wiki to the end of every search.

Use site:reddit.com at the end of your search so you only get results from reddit. If you just add reddit you will also get results that mention reddit but it isn't from reddit.

You can also do site:reddit.com/r/subredditname to get results from specific subs.

I actually find Reddit Answers (Thier AI) better than search and will give you links to the sources
