Using a search engine that isn't saturated with ads and AI trash also solves this problem.

I stopped using Whoogle (Privacy engine using Google search) because of the bad search results. Google's fault of course.

Trying SearxNG now.

SXNG has been great for me. Submitted a PR to add more quick-answers, too.

Same with startpage because google indexing becoming horrible.
But I have some cons. with searxng, earch quality becomes horrible when adding too much sources, and I decided to go with ddg.
