It may seem weird to some, but as a translator, it's really hard for me not to work with Google Search. Obviously, as zillions of people are using it, it has the best search algorithm of them all. On the first page, I get exactly what I've searched for even though my query is sometimes inaccurate or extremely vague, something I can't seem to reproduce with other search engines such as DuckDuckGo. To be honest, I don't know if there exists one search engine as powerful but I would love to have your suggestions. It's the only thing that prevents me from completing my step to DeGooglization.
Google's largely SEO'd results these days, same as it's been for a decade or more. Most any query will lead you to quite literally hundreds of millions of "hits" but for some reason Google only lets you get 3-4 pages into results any more, it seems.
Search hasn't been an important Google product for a long time, I wager, or they'd clean it up. It's just another extension of Google Shopping.
