Google search is still somewhat useful, but only because I use an ad-blocker that relentlessly tries to remove all the garbage that otherwise pollutes the results. Google, of course, works hard to re-pollute.

Besides DuckDuckGo, what do people here prefer for quality search?

@dangillmor DuckDuckGo is Bing, which weights search results heavily toward Microsoft sites. Of course you should go through onion services, e.g., using the Tor browser, for an extra layer of privacy.
Alternative search engines are aggregate search (using a combination of search engines) or stand alone. I'd recommend looking at searX, mojeek, and MetaGer. mojeek uses its own index.
