This coincides with Google search getting worse and now including the AI slop.
What's the best alternative to Google these days?
I use SearxNG, found a good, reliable instance that is close to my location.

I use Kagi, it's great (great results, no ads, no tracking, a lot of clever filtering tools) but it's paid. Free, I would use Brave Search but I doesn't give me as good results as Kagi.
Edit: added links.

Typo in your link (but not in the text). https://searx.space/
Thx, fixed
I think that's like asking what's the best alternative to bread.
The bread has mold and there's weird stuff growing all over it.
Not really. I haven’t used Google Search in close to a decade.
You know right best alternative to bread is plane cake ingredients are identical but process is different thats all
