Yeah they’re pretty terrible now. Reminds me, this is an interesting article about search engines getting worse and failing, but the author didn’t get into the spam aspect iirc: https://archive.org/details/search-timeline

    Is there a good search engine which does not execute any JavaScripts on files that it scans? (This is not the same as excluding web pages that use JavaScripts (I have seen some search engines that do this); I still want to be able to search for them, but I do not want the search queries (or the summaries of the results) to include anything that is only displayed due to JavaScripts.)

      I haven’t paid attention, so I don’t know. I know that Marginalia lets you downrank or exclude sites that use javascript or something like that, but that isn’t what you’re looking for. You might try Mojeek. I’m sorry I know so little about this.
