My guess is that you live in US. I live in Greece, and trying anything but Google for localized results is pretty much useless. The same goes for many European countries. That's why Google's share in Europe is above 90%. There's practically no alternative.

Seconded.

That’s also the very reason I switched to ddg: getting non local, non trending results in Google is a PITA. It’s a constant fight against the AI that tries to steer the results towards what 90% of the people in that country are looking for.
