Yeah, Google search is useless now. I've switched to ddg , and it's much better. Just not having all those sponsored links helps a lot .
Maybe a searx instance would be even better, but I haven't found one that works consistently for me.
DDG is largely Bing search at the backend, unless I'm much mistaken. They do value-add work around privacy, but in the basic sense of "does a DDG search return good results", it's largely the same as Bing.
dang, I didn't know that. But like someone in the above comments has said, maybe the use a different index?
