I use search engines less and less. I find that there are some great websites that I go to for technical information and I just use those.
You can also download docs like the Python reference and use that instead of searching for quick answers. Does it take more time? Yes. But, in my opinion, the extra "inconvenience" is worth it to support Google less. I would rather spend more time on a problem than support Google.
Library Genesis is another place to find stuff that doesn't use Google search or other types of search engines.
Finally, the use less mentality: if you're just searching for random trivia, maybe don't do it at all. The less information bombardment we have in our life, the better. Do an experiment: pretend that search engines don't exist for a week (or block them with /etc/hosts). You'd be surprised at how ingenious you can become when necessity is pushing you.
