What do people do for search results nowadays? That's the one area where I find my ability to persist declining. I used to be able to use ddg and/or google and find quality results fairly reliably. Now, unless I already know the specific site that I want to search for, the results are filled with garbage. I get frustrated after a few minutes of going through garbage LLM-generated sites, and reach out for an LLM myself to ask or perform the search for me.

I've tried blocking specific sites from search results, but it's an unwinnable battle.
