Google doesn't work at all. Try this for yourself.
Pick any term and search it on google. Pick something non-political or partisan. For example if you pick "Chicago Cubs" it will initially tell you, "About194,000,000 results."
However, if you scroll down to the bottom, there will only be a few pages of results. Go through and only 107 results are available. Where are my other 194 million options?
Perhaps I have to "repeat the search with the omitted results included." But doing that only gets you a a handful of extra pages and a total of 406 results.
There are only 406 pages on the internet that talk about the Chicago Cubs? But you told me 194 million? What is going on here?
Choose any term you like and you will find similar. Then see why you can never use google again.
Similar happens with Bing and DDG though less bad. Yandex indeed gives you far more options, it appears.

Exactly. OTOH, I know plenty of people that use it preferentially. I don't use google and have stopped using ddg because it's just a google clone. So is startpage. Yandex is better but will still pull up U.S mainstream garbage.

How is there no alternative to Kosher search engines? Presearch.com, or maybe org, any better result?

(((they))) own it. DDG, startpage, even some of the searx instances are hosed. Yandex is better but not by much. Tried presearch.org "black on white crime statistics" and it actually pulled up potentially useful results, not the curated mainstream shite. Thanks for the pro tip!

Add "-news" to your searches along with other exclusions or the trusted sources system will ignore them. Won't stop all of it but it should help

They do, just not 100% of the time. They work less on current events and other things that might trigger curated results. Filtering out the word "news" cleans up those curated results a bit.
