Google has actively become catastrophically bad to the point that it will ignore the only special keyterm I deliberately looking for for more general dumb results.. like it is literally unusable - I used to be able to find that very specific stackoverflow answer I have read years ago, or some barely read blogpost, and now I’m happy if it actually finds the website if I search for the domain name..

GPT would be good as a search engine, but who would want a search engine that stopped indexing a few years back? Also, it is not good at ultra niche topics, which would be the whole point of a search engine.

Yeah. DuckDuckGo also seems similarly bad these days too. :(
