"Make google search suck less" is something that they didn't consider.
Google is still the best in my experience, at least for stuff I search for. As long as they’re just slightly better what reason do they have to improve?
My last experiences with Google were non-trivial privacy policy consent request popups that made me leave.
The one before was having to clean up my mother's laptop after she installed a popular FOSS program from a search result ad infested with ad and malware.
Yeah there was just an article on ars about malware from an ad pretending to be keepass.
