Brave. It’s pretty decent. Similar to DDG.

Curious to know how you think search engines work.

I'm looking for articles about recent incidents. Not generalized articles from 2018 and 2019.

What's interesting is if you shorten the phrase to 'pushback at LGBTQ' the links are about how teachers can fight against the pushback. With that search, all links are pro-LGTBQ agenda and movement.

Which is a valid search result...

You are looking for a minority of content with an indexing engine. Of course it will be low on the results due to the very nature of what a search engine is. Poor choice of key words doesn't help.

I've looked using probably 20-25 different combinations of LGBTQ orientation survey school teachers school districts lawsuits parent outrage parent rights, etc.

These articles are being BURIED. No denying that fact. Stories that I have previously read ..POOF.. have disappeared from the searches. There is an enormous amount of pro LGBTQ, pro sex in the schools, pro transgender information that appears, however.

I'll try Brave.

Thanks to those who offered usable suggestions.

The trick is, you have to get really creative with what you are searching for and how you word the search.

That doesn't have anything to do with the search engine but rather the content that is out there to find. You give the answer yourself. There is an enormous amount of pro content. So it will dominate the results.

You are comparing the top 10.

What is the difference if they "filter" something by not showing it, and moving it to page 3,124 if it doesn't fit the agenda that is being pushed?
Do you have evidence that they are filtering responses by agenda, or are they filtering responses by number of hits? So, just trying to respond to what you're probably looking for? I LOVE that about google - they're typically pretty good at figuring out what I'm trying to find.

It shouldn't when negatives are attached and in quotes. But it still does.

And how does lawsuit indicate I'm searching for pro-content?

It also disputes the reasoning that it pulls up what you want to see based on prior searches/viewing habits. It's not giving me any information that I am looking for.
