Any underrated AI search engines you've discovered recently?

Feels like the hype cycle has moved on to agents, but I'm still just trying to find a solid AI tool that makes researching faster. I need something that genuinely searches multiple sources instead of just hallucinating facts confidently. I know about the big ones, but are there any grok/perplexity alternatives worth trying out? What lesser-known AI search tools have actually impressed you guys lately? Bonus points if it handles complex queries well submitted by /u/LxM420 [link] [comments]
