I ask because I’ve been doing a lot of research the last few weeks and Google search has really let me down. I’ve been finding better results on DuckDuckGo and Bing. Is this a recent thing with Google or am I out of the loop? Any other search recommendations?
Edit: In no particular order, some recommended alternatives to Google
SearXNG
Whoogle
Ecosia
Brave
Dogpile
DuckDuckGo
Kagi
Swiss Cows
Qwant
Bing


I haven’t used Google search this year, I don’t think. I use DuckDuckGo and I’ve been playing around with Bing Chat for funsies.
Google’s enshittification has been going on for years. It’s just that finally you hit your own personal tipping point to push you out of the SEO hellscape where a search engine used to be.
