Yeah I switched to DuckDuckGo a long time ago and now I might switch to Brave Search because its "Goggles" feature is pretty cool (basically lets you rerank search results according to preference, ex: give precedence to tech blogs, or URLs popular in HN comments, down-rank most popular sites etc.).
This is getting off-topic, but at a certain point Google's results started to feel less and less relevant. Strict keyword matching stopped becoming a feature since it started to "guess" the "hidden meaning" behind your searches, modifiers like "include this exact text" and -"exclude this" stopped being supported and the amount of crap it throws in the search results that are not links to websites became distracting and annoying much of the time rather than useful.
