If anyone tells you google search is the best engine, this article has counter-arguments.

I haven’t heard anyone say Google is the best in a very long time. But people keep using it because they either don’t know or don’t like change. Deals to make it the default in many browsers certainly help keep it going.
I know there are search engines that are better than Google, but it’s becoming mathematically impossible to make a truly good search engine these days. Basically everyone is creating infinite AI generated content… and all that content is optimized for computers to read, not humans.
We need a fundamental shift in how we find information, and I’m not sure what that solution will be.
People have suggested web rings, but most people don’t care much.
Most users are kind of learned helplessness and don’t really try much different.

It has not gotten any better since then?
Start of AI generated shitsites?
Article is from 2022-02 and the last I heard is that Google search is up.
I can suggest marginalia search as an alternative, it is sponsored by NLNET and based in europe. https://nlnet.nl/news/2023/20231016-marginalia.html
Google search has been shit for several years, this isn’t a shock.
