Google has managed to become more and more useless year after year. Are there any search engines that still work as expected?

you can try yandex, not sure if it's expected but it's definitely different to google results

It's always what I use when my search engines fail me (sad that I know of no searx instance that can use yandex). With yandex, one might need to complete a captcha once in a while though.

DuckDuckGo is OK, as is Yandex.

Also niche search engines like Marginalia or Wiby are good, if you want to look for stuff that's not corporate slop

Yandex is decent, 4get.ca, mojeek, baidu with an auto translate addon. All depends what exactly you're looking for.

Kagi is really good; I haven't touched Google since I started paying Kagi. Marginalia is great as well, but a bit more niche in that it explicitly avoids the sort of "corporate" internet
