it has been so surreal and dismaying to watch search engines gradually just kinda... give up on being search engines these past few years. hard to think of another product category collapse of comparable magnitude in web history. https://www.ghacks.net/2023/04/24/duckduckgo-disables-most-search-filters-from-search/

@jplebreton and i switched to DDG entirely because of how bad Google was sucking at it - i'm a bit miffed at the thought of potentially switching again, but what alternative exists anymore? can't just go back to altavista circa 1999...
@wildweasel @jplebreton why not? Let's bring it back! Alta Vista was the best!
