Search clicks were dead already from 19 out of the top 20 results being AI generated SEO garbage pages and "articles" that contains information that is blatantly false and even contradictory.

indeed - run a searxng instance now and it is my default search engine. Includes google in the search but no AI and adds DDG and others. Works well enough
