What search engine does KF use?

From the geniuses at Hacker News:

I think a lot of people think they want raw keyword search, but what they really want is a search experience that makes intuitive sense.

Shades of 90's Usenet, where almost every simple and straightforward question was met with an army of "ACKSHUALLY" assholes. Either they would pretend to try to understand you and ask, "Why do you want to do that?", or more often they'd just instantly jump to smugly declaring, "You don't want to do that." If there was even one search engine in existence that just obeyed instructions instead of ignoring them, that would be enough. Everyone else could use all the so-called search engines, and all the retards would be happy, and nobody would be the wiser except the subhuman scum of Silicon Valley, who would try to crush that real search engine out of existence for speaking the truth.

Bing. Useful for videos and accumulating nearly useless points. Switch to Google for images when need be.
 
I’m using DuckDuckGo right now. I don’t like it very much because of the ads at the top of the search results but I got sick of Brave’s search engine shoehorning AI in everywhere, even if your search term isn’t a question. I don’t want the top search result to be a 200 word essay from chatGPT, I just want a list of websites!
 
I use both Brave and DDG. Brave’s insistence of AI is off putting. I want to get away from Google and AI and not go to another search engine that insists on AI.
 
Most of the time I switch over to Bing because Brave's search engine just sucks. I should just set Bing to default already.
