Since big part of the web is drowning in AI junk, including Reddit, is there a good search engine to find answers in the fediverse?

The built-in search function works quite well I would say
The fediverse has a built-in search engine?
I can only comment on my experience searching for communities in lemmy and people to follow on mastadon, but in both cases I am not sure I’d say “works quite well” would describe my experience.
But also that’s not what I think OP was talking about.
They want a search engine for a random fact like google. It’s been long true that you need to add “reddit” to the end of any google search to find the info you needed.
It’d be nice to have a fediverse alternative.
For communities, https://lemmyverse.net/communities is probably better.
I use the built-in search engine for posts, and usually the results are relevant and accurate
Oh, the single, shared built-in search function in mastodon, pixelfed, misskey, lemmy, friendica, peertube, diaspora, castopod, writefreely, &c?
Please, the fediverse is more than [platform you’re currently using].
The UX is a bit funky, but the results are good.

The disclaimer at the end of your comment doesn’t render properly. At least, on Thunder
Yep, it’s an issue with your client.
You’ll need to bug the Thunder client devs to support superscript and subscript fonts, per these Lemmy.World instructions.

That’s not a lemmy.world link
When you hit reply to a comment from the web client, there are several editor buttons you can press, like ‘B’ for bold font, ‘I’ for italic, etc. The farthest to the right is a circle with a ‘?’ mark in it. The link I supplied is the same as pressing that button.
So if you don’t trust the link I gave you, go to https://lemmy.world/ in your web browser, and hit the reply button for any comment, and then press the circle with a ‘?’ inside of the circle button, and you’ll be taken to the same page as “https://join-lemmy.org/docs/en/users/02-media.html”.

Right, so it’s a Lemmy thing, not a Lemmy world thing,
It’s a Lemmy World web client editor thing.
It’s a help page that shows how to format your comments.

I feel like you’re missing the point. Maybe I wasn’t clear. Yes, Lemmy World does use it, however it’s a feature of Lemmy itself, not just of Lemmy World. Lemmy World is just one instance of Lemmy and they all use the same markup.
My point is calling it the Lemmy.World markup is inaccurate and potentially misleading. Lemmy is more than just Lemmy.World.
