Compared to what the user wanted when they ran the search in the first place.
> It’s not as though I can jump over to DuckDuckGo or Bing and my search quality radically increases. Usually the opposite.
Of course it's a personal anecdote but as a DDG user since 2014 I routinely add !g to my search when the results don't satisfy me (which happen every once in a while, say once a month). This used to help, as most of the time Google had the answer I was looking for and could not find otherwise, but I don't think it happened even once over the past two years: Google is now at least as bad as DDG when it used to be strongly superior.
