• So what do you use for Search?

    Posted on May 18, 2024 at 23:47 CDT by • Comment in the Forums

    Many many years ago I used Altavista as my main search engine.  Now I’m in evaluation mode for folks in my office that want a GOOD search engine but isn’t too geeky. The other day I tried to set up the Edge browser with the “home page” that gives recaps of news but WITHOUT the Copilot icon up in the search engine box on an machine without admin rights. Every time I launched the home page, it would not show the news stories.  Even with Google search engine, the AI impacted search engine isn’t giving us just an answer, rather it’s giving us snippets that can be old and out of date or just out and out wrong. At this time it doesn’t appear that you can turn off AI headlines

    This feature is also coming to Android phones. So far the search engines in the running for a “better” experience include:

    DuckDuckGo

    Brave search engine

    There’s also one that has really embraced AI that I’ve heard some people talk about:  Perplexity

    What about you?  What are you using for search these days?
