What are your favorite non-Google/Bing search experiences?

working on something new and exciting in film & entertainment 

I use DuckDuckGo exclusively. Has been great for years

Find noncommercial, small, old, obscure websites on niche topics. The kind of stuff that was easy to stumble on 20 years ago. https://search.marginalia.nu/

Twitter search a lot more useful these days than it used to be

https://kagi.com if you’re willing to pay for search (it’s $5/month). They’re working on an interesting macOS/iOS browser too at https://browser.kagi.com.

Otherwise, DDG like everyone else says. :-)

DDG is awesome. 

Not perfect but I does 95% of searches accurately

You.com has been my default for about a year now but it does use bing as the backend
Been following perplexity.ai lately, looks neat
