Google says deleting old pages to bamboozle Search is "not a thing!" as CNET erases its history. The tech news site removed thousands of old articles in a recent bid to appease Google and improve its performance in search results over the past few months.

    I’m extremely happy with the results on Kagi. Setting up my own ‘page-rank’ with their search customizations is a godsend to get rid of any unwanted sites and promoted the sources I know I’ll come back to.

    I’m a bit turned off the pricing though, especially since last month I blew through 1000 searches before the end of last month so currently back to Google, but frustrated by every second search or so.

      I ended up paying for the unlimited $25. Figure it is worth supporting the business model and saves me a lot of time and frustration. I really wish it was $10 for unlimited though, but I do use it enough to get my money’s worth with thousands of searches per month.

      You can also try Mojeek, Whoogle and Brave search for free.

        Thanks! Replying so I remember to check them out tomorrow, but I’ll probably eventually relent and get unlimited too. With how much I apparently use it, probably worth it in the end 😅
