Google Search as you know it is over
I've used Kagi for a few years but it's gotten significantly worse for me the last year or so. I'm curious if anyone else has seen the same thing happen. I'll search for something and usually see a bunch of barely relevant SEO sites. Avoiding this is why I started paying for Kagi in the first place, so it's been disappointing to see. Marginalia Search (https://marginalia-search.com/) seems to be better at finding content written by humans rather than SEO specialists, but it's not a silver bullet (for example, the last time I checked they didn't index non-English sites).

The Indie Internet Index – submit your favorite sites
Am I missing something? This doesn't seem to be an "index" at all. The name "index" made me think its trying to accomplish what marginalia is already doing
https://marginalia-search.com/
And stuff like Gossip's Web has been around for a decade now
https://gossipsweb.net/
IndieWeb also has a massive "web ring" that has a similar aim

Kevin Boone: The "small web" is bigger than you might think
To be fair, the hard part is hard to keep a personal website regularly updated without making people think it's abandoned. I don't have a regular post cadence. So it looks like I don't touch the website at all for months. But I regularly update my posts and other sections event if there isn't any new posts.
I also wrote something similar to OP a while back where I do mention this problem he is discussing - https://www.unsungnovelty.org/posts/10/2024/life-of-a-blog-b...
And I'd like to also mention https://marginalia-search.com/ which is a small OSS search engine I have been using more and more theese days. I find it great to find IndieWeb / Small Web content.

Internet Increasingly Becoming Unarchivable
If anyone wants the surreal experience of seeing blogs and websites made by real humans they should check out https://marginalia-search.com
It's far from perfect but it does achieve its stated goal: of resurfacing real people on the internet.
It recently got some NLNet funding and I hope to see it flourish - to my knowledge there aren't any other projects trying to claw back control of the internet towards the commons.

Google is ending full-web search for niche search engines
Yeah that's been me for the last few years, last two of which full time. I'm indexing about 1.1 billion documents now of a single server.
Hard part is doing it at any sort of scale and producing useful results. It's easy to build something that indexes a few million documents. Pushing into billions is a bigger challenge, as you start needing a lot of increasingly intricate bespoke solutions.
Devlog here:
https://www.marginalia.nu/tags/search-engine/
And search engine itself:
https://marginalia-search.com/
(... though it operates a bit sub-optimally now as I'm using a ton of CPU cores to migrate the index to use postings lists compression, will take about 4-5 days I think).
