Yes it sucks. And it’s not the only one. I’ve recently been seeing scam ‘official site’ of a real site. Then in another occasion it was looking for a product. I couldn’t remember if it was just .com or .net. The product was not even within the first two pages of results.
I also tried DuckDuckGo.
Meanwhile I tried Kagi, first result for both, each time. I was swapping to Linux and didn’t have my Kagi login handy at the time. Anyway
It’s a HUGE difference today in search. To find what you need through all this other extra shit. Good Search is more important now than ever imho.

Feels like we’re heading back to the early 90s, before search engines, with pages that are just a bunch of curated links to other pages
