A chat on subreddit /r/NoStupidQuestions

i write for a living &amp; whatever has happened to Google has made the research part of my workday absolutely infuriating. It takes like 4x longer to find what I need &amp; that's IF I find it. More often than not I don't &amp; I just have to completely omit relevant context bc I can't find what I need to accurately cite it. I'm not writing the cure for cancer or anything so it ultimately doesn't matter but it is infuriating (&amp; also terrifying for its implications) nonetheless.

Dont use it. Really, why do you use it if its so annoying?
Brave, Metagear, DuckDuckGo or you.com are just some of them. And they work all better in my experience. I prefer Brave, but thats just me.

And don't just rely on one search engine either. Try out a few and change in between every now and then.
You can even use ChatGTP partly as a search engine for certain questions you have. Great tool and fun to play with.
