I ask because I've been doing a lot of research the last few weeks and Google search has really let me down. I've been finding better results on DuckDuckGo and Bing. Is this a recent thing with Google or am I out of the loop? Any other search recommendations?

Edit: In no particular order, some recommended alternatives to Google
SearXNG
Whoogle
Ecosia
Brave
Dogpile
DuckDuckGo
Kagi
Swiss Cows
Qwant
Bing

maps was ruined compared to what it used to be. I can't remember when but I found it super useful and then one day they changed some stuff and doing stuff just became crap.

Popups. Any time you open Maps app now, you get a "latest in area" popup that's some local events but mostly just sponsored ads.
