Bing was always better than Google for searches for a long while but since the election, Bing has now caught up.

That means there is no good search alternative to Google anymore since almost all search engines run off of Google or Bing. Yandex and Gigablast are the exception, but Yandex has a strong Russian bias, so you tend to get plenty of sites and images in Russian and Gigablast, although alt-tech, doesn't crawl many sites so you get irrelevant results every time.

WE NEED GOOD ALT-TECH SEARCH ENGINES!

I want to preface this comment by saying that I am in no way, shape, or form defending Google or advocating the continued use of Google or not to seek better alternatives.

But FWIW, you can still find pretty much anything you need to find even with Google if you get good with advanced/boolean search.

AFAIK Google hasn't actually removed anything from appearing on their SERP, they just censor and stifle certain content within their algo so it doesn't show up when making general searches.

It's obviously ridiculous that we have to go to such great lengths to use an information search engine to find information, but JS it is still totally possible to find relevant info on these shitty platforms until something better comes along.
