I shared a version of this guide earlier this year, but felt a website was needed to unpack the different options fully. So after an unreasonable number of hours, I put together the necessary data and website.
I hope this is digestible enough for the average person to help those looking to take that first step, or for people who are equally passionate and want to get their friends or family involved.

Every time I post these guides, there is always feedback on things that can improve, or I got wrong. Please do share, as it is the best way for these to evolve!
Why does every search engine look exactly the same, and push the exact same AI chat feature, and have identical options for filtering arranged in out in the exact same order in the exact same location.
I think there’s only one search engine.
People are all copying what they are familiar with, and that is Google. I list the providers that have AI Summaries as part of their offering; you can find one that doesn’t. https://purchasewithpurpose.io/category/search-engine/
Probably because it’s the same use case?
That’s like asking why all keyboards have the same letters in the same arrangement, with mostly the same options.
If you want something different, try Kagi. It has other controls you don’t see elsewhere
