I was trying to find advice on sharpening a straight razor, and the first page of both Google and DDG were SEO'd too heavily for me to bother reading them. Eventually I reverted to the 'use a website I have memorized that I think will have something on the topic' (art of manliness).
But still, a web search for an obvious topic with (probably) thousands of good useful results returned me garbage. What is the role of search engines? How can we fix this?
Curiously, marinalia.nu gave me some fairly sane results!

I don’t have any answers, but “search engines are pretty much useless now” has driven me to start using bookmarks again. I need to figure out a way to actually organize them. · 10 months ago
