as @Saltarello@lemmy.world learned before I did, strip the number 25 from the string above so it looks more like this:
www .google.com/search?q=%s&udm=14
Edit: Lemmy/Voyager formats this string with 25 at the end. Remove the 25 & save it as a browser search engine
EDIT: There’s got to a Markdown option for disabling markdwon auto-formatting links, right?? The escape backslash seems to not be working for this specifically.
I would like to say Google is still better at finding search results with more than one word. For example, if somebody searches “santa claus porn” then DuckDuckGo or Ecosia will probably return images of porn or images of santa claus instead of images of santa claus porn.
However that is no longer true either, because google search continues to get worse all the time. So it’s like there isn’t any good search engines anymore.
Well, I’m glad. That being said, Startpage is a search engine located in the Netherlands that you can start using now. Just go to the site. Kagi is paid.

Will cut the AI results out of your google searches by switching the browser’s default to the web api…
I cannot tell you how much I love it.
For Firefox on Android (which TenBlueLinks doesn’t have listed) add a new search engine and use these settings:
Name: Google Web
Search string URL: https://www.google.com/search?q=%s&udm=14

https[]()://www.example.com/search?q=%sappears as:
https://www.example.com/search?q=%s
Lemmy also does code markup with `text`
https://www.google.com/search?q=%25s&udm=14Indeed, @SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone, like so!:
Edit, oh is it buggy with parameters per downthread? Interesting
Oh thank you I’ve been looking for this

Or better yet, ditch Google altogether.
FWIW, wp:Category:Internet search engines.
I switched to Startpage, an EU-based search engine.
FWIW, wp:Startpage.
I’ve been using startpage, but doesn’t it still rely on google results somehow?
Not EU based, and not free, but I’ve been loving Kagi.
Seconding Kagi, it’s worth every penny.

Yes! Startpage rocks hard. I wish Safari would let it be the default search engine (FF does with a simple plug in).
Startpage! No shit. Used to be Ixquick, and I used that for years. Great site - thank you for reminding me it’s still there. :)
Thank you.
