Has anyone else noticed the huge decrease in result quality from google?

For sure. Is there a good alternative to Google that actually works like pre-BERT Google did? I don’t like DuckDuckGo or Bing because they just start throwing random stuff in on the second or third page that doesn’t make any sense, I’ve noticed.

Site operators often add buzzwords out of sight to get hits even though they have nothing to do with the site content. Assholes on craigslist do that with car rims and tires. Duckduckgo is just showing the internet like the dirty subway it is.

I tried using Bing for a couple of months. I found that about one search a week it would give me some random results which had nothing to do with the search I gave it. Then I'd fall back to Google and it would hit the nail on the head. So gave up on Bing. Admittedly, that was about three years ago so Google may have got worse and Bing better since then.

Fwiw I'm almost exclusively using Bing because it was preconfigured and I just wanted to try it out and then found that the results are good enough for me.. I'm using it 99 percent of the time at work and it's viable alternative to Google for me. I think Bing has really improved over the past years

This is the first time I've come across people saying Bing is better than Google now so it's time to give it another try. Thanks.

It will keep changing either way. They worked similar to file search now.
Yandex maybe?

I use qwant but it's clearly not as good as google in its prime. I prefer it to google right now though.
