TLDR - Recommend any search engines alternatives to Google?
full spiel;
So... Google is AWESOME
AFAIK, Google has been the best for years. It has helped me tremendously.
However, I have noticed a trend of a mild, but steady increase in marketing/etc.. manipulation of the results.
I can see an extreme/full example of this if I search for a random drug question (rather than getting the pages you would formerly find, you now get 90% 'recovery village' 'addiction helpline',etc... pages)..
Now on any topic I can use the 'advanced search' and/or the characters (eg "-" minus sign to search without certain words, but that is
tedious.
I'm high(on my morning 1 cup of coffee) and I have a great idea, and I'd like to 'surf the net'
using my brainpower, without advertising or cookies or whatever
manipulating the results.
