I just added some search engine recommendations to the lists.d repo

For this initial version, there are some interesting contenders:

As always feel free to open up an issue / pull request if you want to see more entries...

This is great news in search engine land.

I feel that this is right time to do it, too. Just when Google is struggling with the quality of its results (and seems to have thrown in the towel to SEO and monetisation) and big players are polluting their results with AI slop.

« For example, an adult said to the child: “Ooh, a small car! Can you move the small car for me?” Children could see three cars — small, medium and large — but were in position to observe that the adult could not see the smallest car. Since the adult could see only the medium and large cars, when she said “small” car, she must be referring to the child’s “medium.” »

Found using the first attempt in Google, searching for:

multilingual children research empathy cars trucks

Although I'll immediately admit that often a lot of tweaking of the search terms is required. And if Google doesn't come up with someting useful, DuckDuckGo may help. But then again, sometimes I have to give up or Google will start asking me if I'm a human (it still seems to prefer them over bots).

Do not underestmate the power of double quotation marks (although they are fuzzy and sometimes being ignored (both DDG and Google).

If you know the country of publication:
site:uk
may help tremendously.

IMO learning "to google" is a good investment (even if they are increasingly evil).

#Google is an illegal #monopoly, federal court rules

A federal court has found that Google illegally abused its market #power to quash #competition in #InternetSearch, handing the #DOJ a landmark victory against as it takes on a string of federal #antitrust lawsuits #BigTech.

“Google is a monopolist, & it has acted as one to maintain its monopoly,” Judge Amit P. Mehta wrote in his judgment on Monday.

Better, safer #internetsearch? The magic word is: #open

Wolfgang Sander-Beuermann, Computer Scientist + Founder Metager/SUMA e.V. about the advantages of #opensource
“My advice is basically very short: use #searchengines that make their #sourcecode #public. Because the others have ‘something to hide’.”

ChatGPT vs. Google: A Comparative Study of Search Performance and User Experience
arxiv.org/abs/2307.01135

The findings support that people believe the information generated by ChatGPT has higher quality & is more accessible than Google Search, & they hold a similar view of trust in both results.

Our findings suggest that ChatGPT has a leveling effect on user performance, regardless of their educational backgrounds ...

arXiv.orgChatGPT vs. Google: A Comparative Study of Search Performance and User ExperienceThe advent of ChatGPT, a large language model-powered chatbot, has prompted questions about its potential implications for traditional search engines. In this study, we investigate the differences in user behavior when employing search engines and chatbot tools for information-seeking tasks. We carry out a randomized online experiment, dividing participants into two groups: one using a ChatGPT-like tool and the other using a Google Search-like tool. Our findings reveal that the ChatGPT group consistently spends less time on all tasks, with no significant difference in overall task performance between the groups. Notably, ChatGPT levels user search performance across different education levels and excels in answering straightforward questions and providing general solutions but falls short in fact-checking tasks. Users perceive ChatGPT's responses as having higher information quality compared to Google Search, despite displaying a similar level of trust in both tools. Furthermore, participants using ChatGPT report significantly better user experiences in terms of usefulness, enjoyment, and satisfaction, while perceived ease of use remains comparable between the two tools. However, ChatGPT may also lead to overreliance and generate or replicate misinformation, yielding inconsistent results. Our study offers valuable insights for search engine management and highlights opportunities for integrating chatbot technologies into search engine designs.
