Search engines these days are all bad, and that's by design. Yandex's reverse image search has gone from the best to absolute gigashit.

Even purpose built local search engines seem to be universally broken. I try to search a product on a grocery store website so I can comparison shop and it buries the the product I searched for by name under a pile of unrelated bullshit. It wasn't always like this.

Are file searches in Current Year OSes also going to crap? Back in the day, older Windows and early OS X had a straightforward search engine that found matches in filenames or even text (which was slower). Apple introduced that "Spotlight" crap in later OS X which had to "index" a volume to work, but I dunno how good or bad such was otherwise.

Gutter trash file search has always been specifically a Microsoft thing, for decades now. Same with progress bars whose ETAs randomly flipflop between three seconds and thirty years over several minutes.

I just wanna find useful sites again that isn't AI generated (and don't tell you shit by the end of it after repeating itself for most of the page) or the usual clickbait fair.

(:_(

Though I gotta disagree, Yandex still has the best in regards to finding different sizes and crops of the same image, as least for the things I've used it for. Google would only give me one or two at most. Everything is just definitely worse. I mean it was shit before the AI explosion and now that's somehow managed to send it even further down the shitter. Something's gotta give here.

Anyone notice the dogshit video platform known as youtube now really throttles how many videos it'll let you add to your playlists, I had about 10 videos missing from my fucking watch later and custom watch later playlist (because youtube wants you to pay to add videos to watch later on mobile but not custom playlists?).

I use a text file for bookmarks, instead of using the browser bookmarks thing. Easier to use between different browsers.

A typical entry in that text file looks like this, with a page title and URL:
