ddg has served my search needs just fine for years now, but I still go to google for image search and maps.
One thing has really bothered me with the state of the web in general though, which has directly affected the quality of results for all search engines:
Tons of communications have moved into undiscoverable forms/walled gardens. What used to happen in public, crawled, textual mailing list discussions, particularly in the FOSS/IT space, is now happening in Discord/Slack/video meetings. Even upstream systemd devs have been using Telegram of all things for discussing development topics as opposed to systemd-devel. It's an absolute disaster.
I sorely miss the days of https://google.com/linux https://google.com/linux where I'd find pages and pages of relevant, high-quality mailing list discussions for everything I searched for.
