Now I primarily use ChatGPT and Claude for my information.

However, I still need a search engine to find primary datasets, primary images, et cetera.

I prefer content from the personal blogs and websites of real people. I particularly love researchers who post their research to their own sites (in addition to or in preference of journals).

What engine should I switch to?

I don't want any sites to appear that contain ads or paywalls.

Right now I'm using Kagi, but appending site:*.edu to my queries to exclude paywall sites like ResearchGate.net.

Is there something better?
