Any suggestions? I'm a researcher and need control of searches. I know options are limited. Even before AI, google was axing it's search operators and others seemed to follow suit or never had them. I'd like to block sites that return non-answers and filler. I would certainly pay for something that works, but can't host my own (and have found that self-hosted searches have limited crawlers anyway). I'm less worried about privacy, though that is certainly nice. Thank you!

Edit: seems like Kagi is coming out on top, for me. Explanation below.
