I ask because I’ve been doing a lot of research the last few weeks and Google search has really let me down. I’ve been finding better results on DuckDuckGo and Bing. Is this a recent thing with Google or am I out of the loop? Any other search recommendations?

Edit: In no particular order, some recommended alternatives to Google
SearXNG
Whoogle
Ecosia
Brave
Dogpile
DuckDuckGo
Kagi
Swiss Cows
Qwant
Bing

    I tend to use Brave search, since it is the default in by browser. Sometimes I don’t get good results, and will go to another search engine. Google has become a bit unreliable though, since they started integrating these “ChatGPT”-style responses. These AI systems often seem to just make stuff up, and you really can’t rely on the information at all.
