I have been trying Kagi for a few months and have found it better than Google in most cases, though not a silver bullet.

Here are the queries from the original article in Kagi:

    how to fix a flat tire

Top result:

https://www.wikihow.com/Fix-a-Flat-Tire

Also, it predicts a video is best to answer this question and gives 3 YouTube thumbnails listed at the top of the results. They all seem generally helpful based on the title.

    how are pearls made?

I get useful results from google for the same query

First result is

https://www.outsideonline.com/outdoor-gear/cars-trucks/how-t...

2nd, 3rd, and 4th resultsa are videos

5th is wikihow (which by the way IMO is often a really bad site. There is lots of junk content on wikihow)

I got the wikihow as the second result. The top one was this:

https://www.outsideonline.com/outdoor-gear/cars-trucks/how-t...

Which is equally good.

These top results are identical to the results I'm getting from metager.org which is just a meta search engine. Both those results came from Bing in the case of metager
