I find myself using duckduckgo and kagi more and more. All search engines suck, honestly, but the not-Google choices maybe suck a little less. Google results have gotten horrible, it's so obvious it's just serving up sponsored ad links, not actual information. I mean, that's been the case for a long time but they've really dialed up the suck.
I defaulted to DDG now. It has been working just fine. Every now and then I can't find something and I will append a "!g" at the end of the search in DDG to get Google results.
I will use Yandex when searching for more copyright infringing content which works very well too.
That has me 100% covered. If I were to lose Google I would still be 98% covered.
The bang commands are such a great feature of DDG
