Fed up with both traditional and AI search

1•zyruh•7h ago
traditional search is junk - filled with ads and a list of blue links to sort through. AI tools hallucinate too frequently that its difficult to find them reliable. Is this as good as it gets? Someone give me some hope.

Kagi?
zyruh•7h ago
Yeah, Kagi seems decent. haven't used it much. feels more like google just without the ads. Anyone feel that Kagi provides more accurate info that GPT or similar tools?

Don’t try to index all the web, pick some smaller universe of quality content to search.

For example, if you are programming you should have some tool that looks at your project.toml or package.json or POM and looks up the exact versions of the dependencies you use and search that documentation and only that documentation.

For that matter you would want an AI to act only based on that knowledge base —- it is so awful to argue with a AI over whether you can write a switch statement with a null in it (you can in JDK 21) or have it write code for the wrong version of SQLAlchemy.

zyruh•7h ago
Right, that's kind of the frustration I have. Traditional search gives you the universe that you have to sift through. AI tools are closer to that "smaller universe" but are often inaccurate. I'm not a programmer, but I'm seeing a gap here for a tool, search engine (whatever you want to call it) that is both spot on to what I'm asking and trustworthy in its response. Anyone else see this need? Perhaps I'm in the minority.
