I have noticed that Wikipedia is often pushed to the bottom of the page compared to a few years ago where it would always be at the very top.

Anecdotally Wikipedia is often the top result for me ... with the twist that it's the Google widget, with the side bar and related videos.

Only way below this block (which takes about 120% of my whole screen's height) come the "organic" results, that aren't great, but probably match what Google assumed I wanted to see.

And it's always the result I want.

Then consider using DDG & '!w term', or some other method (searching Wikipedia, extension, I think Firefox has something engine-agnostic built-in) instead?

[stavros]

Oh I do use DDG. I think it might suffer from the same problem, actually, since now I'm wondering why I see Wikipedia results very far down in Google when I don't really use Google.

The comment above mention using !w in your search to look only in wikipedia since you say it is nearly always what you are looking for.

I would say at this point you could just use wikipedia as your default search engine.

[stavros]

Yeah, I do do that for those things, but when I don't, I've noticed a decline in quality.

You can add a keyword search in Firefox.
