“Google, like the others, is now severely limiting search results on all topics. It gives you a single page of promoted results, and then you can click at the bottom for more results, getting five more each time. This method is so inefficient you soon give up.” (MMHs meta.pdf)

“Is search.brave.com | Brave any better? No, like Bing it only lists up to p. 6, and it repeats the same promoted results on every page. It lists several YouTube videos twice, lists the same Wikipedia page three times, and lists the same pages at NationalGeographic four times.” (MMHs meta.pdf)

“So all the search engines, including Brave Search, are now worthless. If you aren't searching on Jennifer Aniston, Brad Pitt, or Taylor Swift, they have got nothing for you. It would be like going physically to the Library of Congress and being told they had stored the entire history section to make room for celebrity trivia and gaming. Or, no, I take it back, it is actually far worse than that, since of course the number of people who go to the internet for information far exceeds the number of people who physically show up at libraries. And, in fact, your local libraries have also been gutted on purpose over the past thirty years, at the behest of Bill Gates and others. They had to make room for banks of computers, Oprah books, self-help books, and more CIA-front magazines and newspapers. Once they move in the coffeeshop, your library will just be a subsidiary of Barnes&Noble/Starbucks, and all the real books will be cleared out.” (MMHs meta.pdf)
