I suspect that this is the direct result of AI generated content just overwhelming any real content.

I tried ddg, google, bing, quant, and none of them really help me find information I want these days.

Perplexity seems to work but I don't like the idea of AI giving me "facts" since they are mostly based on other AI posts

ETA: someone suggested SearXNG and after using it a bit it seems to be much better compared to ddg and the rest.

Has it gotten worse? They’ve been dogshit for a long time, maybe they’ve gotten worse and I haven’t noticed

Brave has their own search. There is also meta searches such as metager, searx and mojeek. I hope more search engines enter the market
