Google, DuckDuckGo and Bing now all return the same shitty LLM-generated nonsense sites to most of my searches, and don’t respect my literal search terms even when I put them in quotes.
I’m not ready to pay for search, yet.
Is there any alternative?

I think Searx is a good suggestion. Can be a bit slow to return results because it runs the search on a bunch of search engines and compiles the results, but that helps to make sure better stuff rises to the top.
The other suggestions aren’t suggestions at all. They are obsoleted by searx.space
DDG … obsolete
startpage.com … obsolete
Browsers have default search engines. Curse everytime, DDG is accidentally queried.
DDG is a curse word!
