    Yeah, if search hadn’t become dog shit I’d be happy with it

    Instead, everything is a video for some reason, and the results are purposely worse than a year ago…I don’t want to watch a video, I can read 20x faster than I can listen, I don’t want to read an ad in article form - I’m generally looking for one little nugget of information

    I took this into my own hands - I’ll use free services if they work, but increasingly they’re just demos for a product that may or may not be better. So I spun up a searx container, I point a local LLM at it, and I let it filter read through results. My next stage is to crawl documentation, use LLMs to feed it into a vector db, and use AI to retrieve exactly what I want without sifting through garbage myself
