I disagree, Google finds what I'm looking for more frequently than any other search engines I've tried. And I say this as someone who is looking to use Google less!

What is the alternative? Chat gpt and clones are rather wrong most of the time.

I use Phind[0]. It's great addition to the regular search engine.

kagi.com which is subscription instead of advertising so they understand who the customer is and what product they are selling to whom

// to be clear, google understands what product they are selling to whom as well -- it's just not search to you

Yandex is my go-to for harder to find items, and other than that I use DDG. Google never gives good results.

The idea is to write one query and be able to view results on the major search engines. I have to investigate the supported advanced search feature for each first...
