For practical stuff like that, I find directly searching on YouTube to be the most useful. The wealth of free practical instruction available on YouTube is staggering. Unfortunately, that doesn’t help for those who want the information in written form, and a not insignificant proportion of it is by amateurs who have no idea what they’re doing nor know what the word “safety” means.
I’ve found YouTube search results to be even worse. The DIY videos I need are buried beneath product reviews for adjacent things and completely unrelated topics that happened to hit certain keywords.
i can literally type in a video title and a channel name and not get it. ditto for most searchengines looking at the youtube title.
would YaCy help? i keep thinking it’s a floss peer to peer search engine. kinda like curating a fediverse instance? lmk if it’s a good fit for solving this
I’ve tried YaCy. Its results are worse than Altavista. Might be OK for searching internal documentation at an organization, but not for the public internet.
