What search engine is currently showing the most useful results? What other tricks do we have aside of adding "reddit" or whatever internet community to the results?

I like the idea of paying for internet services, but $5 a month is way too expensive for me.

I wouldn't mind $5 if that tier didn't also cap the number of searches to 250. I'd burn through that super quick, and $25 for unlimited is way too much IMO.

The tiers have changed over time. Originally $10 was 700, not its 1000.

I use search A LOT for work. I also have it on my phones etc because I dont feel like swapping engines all that often.

I find it giving me more acurate results quicker, without ads.

The only other subscription services I use are mostly Netflix for kids and family. I avoid them at most costs. But this one allows me to do my job a bit more efficiently and its privacy focused.

Its up with a get what you pay for thing.

Where do you think is a reasonable price? Search is something most folks use daily, multiple times per day. If the quality of results is good, that seems like a small price to pay. Netflix is pushing 20 a month, and many other streaming services are in the 10—15 range.

I think a dollar would be ok.
