> have Adblock and personal blocklist to filter out garbage sites, and I maintain a record of 300+ sites that are worthless as far as search results are concerned.

If you want to pay to save yourself some effort, I have found Kagi

- to provide better results

- to have working feedback (so if a search provides wrong answer you can report it and a human will look into it and verify it and the search will stop providing wrong info)

- to let me push sites down or even block them completely without doing anything client side

Yes, I am really happy with Kagi, no like other things I push for I am not paid for it, and in the case of Kagi I even pay for it (I don't have any other deals either, but some of the things I push are open source or otherwise freely available).
