Sounds like Google wants to get out of the search engine business. Maybe we should help them. Try DuckDuckGo. Or SearX

DDG's results have been absolute garbage for me for the past few months. About half of the time I have to go to Google to get the results I actually need.

You're getting downvotes because we all want it to succeed... It hasn't been great for me.

I do use Yandex sometimes, especially if I'm searching for a torrent or streaming show or something since they don't seem to care about filtering pirated stuff. But in general the results seem better than DDG.

Yes I know it's Russian or whatever. Oh well.

Same. I've really wanted DDG to work, but it's a crapshoot. I set it as default on my phone with the intention of putting it on my laptop later after I finished a project for work, but phase 2 never happened because the results started to tank.

Just FYI, SearX is dead. Long live SearXNG
