   You used to be able to find more obscure webpages on google.  Now its the same   
   old top 5 sites.  Google seems to strongly prefer the big players, and doesn't   
   really service up the smaller web creators.  There is also a trend for many of   
   these sites to NOT link to other sites, so finding more information on a topic   
   is hard, as you have to search, and search again.   
      
   We used to have web-rings which allowed us to find different sites on the same   
   topic.   
      
   Here are two good web search engines to try.   
      
   https://wiby.me   
      
   This focuses on sites with simpler design.  You won't get the Javascript   
   laden, slow heavy sites here.  It's fun to click "surprise me" and see what   
   you get.   
      
   Another is   
   https://search.marginalia.nu/   
      
   Which again focuses on non-commercial content and shows you stuff you may not   
   have been aware of.  A lot isn't on these sites, but when I used them I did   
   something I haven't done in a while, and that is actually SURFED the 'net.
