Over the last few years I’ve found ddg results work better. To be clear, I don’t know that ddg has actually gotten better. But Google’s quality has just nose dived to the point it’s better.

I’m also trying kagi. It feels so different I’m not hooked yet. But the layout is just different enough it’s a bit jarring to skim after decades of training on Google’s results.

I’m hopeful though because I hear other people talking about it a good bit. At this point, I don’t know if there’s another model to trust either.
