No matter how many times people claim “X search engine” is universally better than Google, it has just never been true in my experience. And this is coming from someone who puts up with the frustrations of other search engines to avoid Google’s data harvesting. Like Google’s search engine can have rapidly deteriorated and still be miles better than the competition. Both can be true, but people always seem to act like the SEO spam has made it unusable and that is just not reality at all.

Most of the time they’re either just googling a different skin or Bing in a different skin, which is why they are never any better.
