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.

Google is just working hard to become less useful every day. I tend to use ChatGPT a lot instead of Google.

Wrong. I regularly use "site:" all the time.
The enshittification continues.
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.
Between this and Amazon it's almost completely useless to search anything through them. You just need to go to forums to get recommendations and reviews
There's https://redditle.com/ if you just want reddit results. I've had it bookamrked and find it pretty useful.
This is a tragedy. I will have to see if this still works on Bing
