I read a post a couple days ago about a forgotten Google product (Alerts I think it was?) that gives you a classic Google search with no thrills and LLM crap. I think I've found another one!
When navigating to https://programmablesearchengine.google.com, going through the quick process of creating a customized search engine that is set to "Search the entire web" and then clicking Preview, you get a basic and simple search engine that seems to just work like a search engine should.
Thought that's kinda neat!
