Are you aware that Google search results since 2022 and later it become unreliable

Few years ago, Google search it was a prime tool for discovery of blogs and user comments posted over a forum.
Recently Google changed their strategy and their search engine while it collects tracks of internet traffic, this does not deliver this discovered content at people using their search engine.

Even ITTSB Blog, a product reviews website with more than eleven years of activity this seems today as almost invisible at Google search.

In my surprise, search engine of Bing ( Microsoft ) this still deliver as usual. 
https://www.bing.com/ (https://www.bing.com/)

The downside of using Bing vs Google, this is the somewhat narrowed accuracy when you search for a topic and select to see relative images instead of links.
   
In the past two years I am using startpage.com = The world's most private search engine.  :P
I did recently learn that this is also powered by Google,  search results appear more accurate, but still Startpage/Google this is the same business.

If you are a thinker who wish to take the most from a search engine? You better leave back Google and choose another one to use.
Today I am going to change all my computers these using Bing Search as default.

I feel seek and tired with Google and of all it limiting services.
Even YouTube search results they are not any better, and dedicated Video Blogger they do see or facing now dark-days speaking of views and web-stats. 

Avoiding Google services as much as possible this in my year 2024 prime advice.

The worst days are now at 2026.  :P

Anything shown as search engine, its a hoax and a scam..
Since the moment that AI become a replacement of regular web search algorithms, we have now fewer and limited results.

In the past fifteen years,  I was able to track down due web search real people, them using a specific test equipment.
Small Blogs,  photographs of electrical measurements,  small articles about tests.

Today I cannot find any more, human made content.
I did tested today a number of ten search engines, and they appear to be owned by a single Boss.
All test results  they are very few and identical.   :P

My new suggestion, a partially working search engine, this is better than nothing.
