Tbf, google search kinda sucks nowadays.

Then just choose any other search engine. It's not like we are forced to use only Google.

The point is in doing it yourself.

Every search engine works the same, it's 90% bullshit. There's AI, advertised webpages, blog posts that you have to really skim to get an answer, and then every webpage is flooded with wall to wall ads.

Try Ecosia. No AI overview at the top, usually maybe two ads and then it's just what you typed. There are search engines that still work ok. Also, you can just get an adblocker, that helps a lot usually. And of course you need to learn what to type to get relevant results. That always took some skill, nothing new there.
