Google Search Is Dying

I try to use DuckDuckGo exclusively, but the results are often poor enough that I have to switch to Google.

Just to be clear, I totally agree with all the criticisms of Google here; it's also awful and I'll often end up just doing site: searches, which Google seems to be better at than DDG.

It feels a bit like the search engineers have lost the war with SEO.

Ditto. DDG is my default search engine with mixed results at best. I often begrudgingly revert back to Google.

I do that too. But recently I also started inserting !g before my searches hoping to get better results only to notice I am already on Google.

I started switching to !g when I had to finish a project in a hurry and I was using a framework I was unfamiliar with. By the end of the project I had just ditched DDG as my default and went back to Google.
