You've tried DuckDuckGo and Brave Search, now get serious with SearXNG

Still a happy Kagi user. Paying for search aligns the incentives cleanly IMHO

I wish they'd make it easier to adjust individual engine's weight, ideally right from the UI instead of a config file. Personally, after bumping up Google/Wiby and bumping down DDG/Presearch/Startpage (and disabling Bing altogether), results became much better. It still displays some results that only the latter engines turn up, but IMO there's noticeably less cruft.

I like Brave search a lot. I don’t use the Brave browser though.

SearXNG or serious, pick one.

Or catch them all and fuse the results. I'm hitting Exa, Tavily, and self hosted SearXNG, then fusing the results with heuristics or an agent

You enable which search engines you want, only Bing is on by default.

Turning on Google/DDG etc results in hackingwithswift, avanderlee, developer.apple.com docs and SO at the top.
