Well, this explains the experience I had with the poe2 wiki 2 months ago. I could only find the poe1 wiki and thought it was so damn weird that there wasn't one for the sequel. Then a week or so later, a reddit thread had a comment to the poe2 wiki, and I was so confused why it hadn't shown up, when I specifically searched for it. smh. Glad to have that mystery solved!
I have switched to DuckDuckgo and while their index is crap, it's at least has more crap than what Google has.
DuckDuckgo I believe leases the Bing engine so I am still trying others.
also now I am using the direct search engines for specific sites... eg '@wiki ' to use Wikipedias onwn search.
Startpage uses Google's index, or used to. At very least, it seems to have more and different results than DuckDuckGo.
Oh interesting, Startpage looks like it has access to Google's image search dataset and possibly their crazy ass vector basesd mobius strip index system
