Unfortunately, Google seems to be returning increasingly worthless search results.

I tried DuckDuckGo, and it hardly returned any results at all.

Searching for people by name tends to get 'outsourced' to various commercial search services, with all kinds of 'soft' results on the name searched.

Apparently the enshitification of search engines is well under way. Goodbye to a Golden Age.
