Ask HN: Are there valid Google Search alternatives?
2 by lnrd | 2 comments on Hacker News.
Google Search is broken. I wanted a list of the most popular text editors for writers. I searched "best mac text editors" and of course all articles are about code editors, silly me. I then searched "best mac text editors for writing" and Google just spits out same results, a bunch of listicles about VScode vs VIM. Completely ignoring the "for writing" part of my Search (not excluding the term, just giving irrelevant results). It has become so comically bad that I would be surprised there is not some cool startup out there trying to reinvent a Search that just works. Any hints?
