I get the feeling this’ll be an unpopular suggestion but I’ve used Ecosia for something like ten years and it’s never failed me. I use Duckduckgo on my Linux laptop because it came bundled and it’s still not worth changing.
Comment on Has google stopped working for finding anything?

Duckduckgo.com is my go to solution for when Google wants to give me trash results.

Ecosia has been my standard for a long while now, not realky hear many people mentioning it either.

I’ve long felt like it gives me better results than Google too but I’ve never really tested that idea!

When using noscript I see bing in between and I think they make use of their API. But yeah I also have the idea that it works better.

yeah no. i am WILLING duckduckgo to work as a search engine, but the results are so bad, it doesn’t do phrases well. i just searched “blue sign construction”, thinking i’d find infos about blue signs in construction sites. literally the whole first site is about “bluesign”, something to do with textile production. and the picture results are 99% just construction signs in all different colours.

This. One of the reasons I couldn’t use DDG for more than a week, and I still kept using !g inbetween. Kagi is the way to go for me.
