I switched to Kagi for this and they have “small web” and fediverse search.
They are a US based paid search engine and so far have not enshittified.
They’re one of the few US services I kept (low switching costs, low lock in, and a company I like) despite otherwise boycotting most other US products.
People have been talking about it since Google debuted their instant answers years ago.
Nobody listened or cared.
It seems they’ve been deprioritised entirely, years ago i was able to find actual blogs and forums. But this is going to hit them even harder.
