Lol, they absolutely do not. Their search results have turned to shit.
What's a better alternative? Have tried all major ones except paid ones and I always return to Google. Maybe for basic stuff Duck Duck Go / Bing is fine, but once you start searching for local / non-English stuff, results were underwhelming.
I bought a Kagi subscription within hours of finding the site. They'll eventually enshittify but they're very good for now.
I want the answer to be a federated system, like YaCy. Which I tried to set up, and its results make AltaVista look good. Maybe good enough for a corporate intranet, but not the internet at large.
I've been using kagi for a few months (6 according to my bank). It is paid. It is great. It's so good I've switched my wife to it since Google was giving her a lot of garbage (she's a non techie) and she says "it feels like Google used to be. The answers are what I was looking for. I forgot I was using Kagi"

My current favorite search engine. Just pick one that's running out of your country or close to it. Hope it works as well for you as it does for me.
Thanks, I'll give it a try.
