Duck Duck Go is ok I guess

You know, years ago I figured that nothing was worth the time to switch away from Google. But today, Google's results are so bad and everything else has so gradually improved that I switched and basically didn't notice.

I think Google moat is mostly in our heads at this point.

DDG remains "merely good", but given that Google has sunk to "kind of garbage actually". My favorite thing about it, weirdly, are the bang codes. Going "!w Mutemath" and just winding up on Wikipedia (!mwt for the thesaurus, !yt for youtube, or !wten for wiktionary are some other favorites) have been the handiest.

The fact that the goal of the site seems to be "uh, just search, actually???" has been a godsend. Google being an advertising company with an incidental search engine is just kind of a mess, so I'm happy to stick with "merely good" at this point.

My understanding, citation desperately needed, is that duckduckgo is just bing with all of the "features" stripped off.

Despite this, it is probably the most functional search engine right now. Which is more a statement about how bad it's all gotten than anything else.

It's going to be a lasting verb, like a floppy disk icon for saving documents.

Even with DDG tho, finding info on the web is a total crapshoot. Decades of exploiting SEO has almost guaranteed you will not find anything useful, and I've taken to relying on YouTube of all places to at least find something made by a human being. Even then, I'm anticipating it's only a matter of time before that gets filled with genAI sludge.

DDG also sucks and is powered by Bing but it still somehow sucks less, not that it necessarily helps me find the results I want, either

It at least usually tries to find what I typed. Not its fault SEO is a plague, I guess. (definitely its fault when I try to use search modifiers and it ignores them though)
