I recently switched my default search from Google to DuckDuckGo: Google has begun refusing to find anything while exact same search on DuckDuckGo just works. Google is slower because I have to think+ignore first half of the page due to Ads/SEO crud.

My search engine results have been so dogshit lately, this just makes it worse. Glad I don't use Google anymore (even though all of them are bad regardless).

I've been pretty happy with my selfhosted SearX. I think maybe I've used google for so long that I don't know how to properly use other search engines. Bing never seems to give me the results I want.

There's https://redditle.com/ if you just want reddit results. I've had it bookamrked and find it pretty useful.

Weird. I gotta check out that Cookie and Kate recipe, though!
