Google is way to compliant to DMCA request resulting in bad result. Bing doesnt seems to care and will happily link to live and replay of sport event (the main reason I use it personnaly) even as a first result.
PS : If you’re french dont forget to change your DNS or any quality site will not load
Yandex is the best when it comes to pirate searches, hands down
So far the only comments have been ‘everyone knows this already’, but I did not, so thank you for posting it
Apparently porn as well.
Google nowadays works if you wanna search something from Wikipedia or like the same 20 websites. For anything else, good luck going through all the SEO autogenerated garbage.
Pro tip: if you do insist on using Google scroll to the bottom until you see a notice like the one below.
You can then click on the complaint to see the URLs that were removed.
They’ve wisened up a bit and now require a (throwaway) email to access the links, but chances are that if you’re looking for something more obscure, the link you seek is still there.

Pretty sure it’s intentional.
Google is just better at censorship.
I use searx because it aggregates over multiple search engines. You can find searx nodes here: https://searx.space/
Seconded, I also use this and have it integrated into Firefox as my default search. I also use Mulad for DoH protection
You should try out LibreX. Built in torrent search engine. Works similarly to SearX.
Alternatives to Google, to YouTube, Reddit, Twitter, Facebook, Messenger, alternatives to Chromium/Chrome browsers - these are important things to be aware of.
SearXNG has search handled for me - scraping Bing and Google amongst others (and often I see Google results are low down on my list).
I can highly recommend Brave search, they have their own index and don’t “comply” with the DMCA because it’s not actually required for a search engine but sadly also not forbidden. I love it every time piratebay.org shows up when it obviously should and not some scummy fake sites!
I use Brave and occasionally Crowdview for questions… any reason why I should find a Searx instance instead?
Google is getting passed by in many ways. Chrome feels like a second rate browser now.
That’s not an unpopular opinion. It’s a known fact for years.
Clearly, I shouln’t have posted this as an “Unpopular opinion” but rather as a PSA or general advice, my bad. Just something i thought as something people should know. Also I’m sure there is better search engine out there so please share away !
SearX go brrr There’s even a tab for ′files′ which is all just torrents
