and what are you going to use? google is literally 90%+ of the search market. bing yandex baidu and yahoo are all worse in many ways. they can be good if what you are searching for was removed from google for copyright or trademark reasons. And there are some overzealous takedowns that remove a huge amount of unrelated content if a brand name or acronym is even mentioned on a page.

if your search is terrible it is probably because you are signed in and things are over optimized based on your history. either lock down your privacy settings and delete your search history or sign out and use safari or FF because chrome still has cookies you can't delete. and putting individual terms in quotes is neccesary with a lot of things but that is with all search engines these days

unironically there is a huge difference using youtube or google search or google maps logged in and logged out in a non chrome browser
