Is anyone using Google search less than before? (kbin.social)

I ask because I've been doing a lot of research the last few weeks and Google search has really let me down. I've been finding better results on DuckDuckGo and Bing. Is this a recent thing with Google or am I out of the loop? Any other search recommendations?

Edit: In no particular order, some recommended alternatives to Google
SearXNG
Whoogle
Ecosia
Brave
Dogpile
DuckDuckGo
Kagi
Swiss Cows
Qwant
Bing

DuckDuckGo uses Bing results. Also DuckDuckGo is not your friend.

I personally use SearXNG for best results. Public instance list.

Huh. That's odd because bing search sucks and DDG does not. Work IT forces Edge+Bing as default at each Citrix login so force of habit url bar searches wind up there first somewhat often. So then I immediately go to DDG and search and find what I want... that's a poser. On my own machines/phone I use Firefox with DDG as default search engine.
