Google search is terrible these days. I find myself using other engines even yandex to find things these days. It has been in a decline now for at least the last 3-5 years.

All this SEO garbage may be responsible but I still think google could do a much better job.

Feels like Google is just over monetizing it’s search at this point and the quality of product is in a free fall.



I saw someone mention kagi, a premium search engine, on here recently and I've been loving it. Hadn't heard of yandex, I'll give that one a try too.

Google definitely has an incentive to push content farms covered in Google ads to the top of its search engine, whereas a premium service's only incentive is to provide the best search engine possible.
