I've noticed this a few years ago. Google has been ruining its search engine deliberately so. I could explain the things Google did here, but other websites and videos already explain it, including the why (though there is some speculation as to why).

These days I even find e. g. qwant sometimes having better results than google search. I see it as a positive thing though - I can soon stop using Google search. So one less Google product. One day I will be Google free. It will be a happy day. I really think Google must cease to exist.

(The only sad thing is how crap the other search engines are. So while Google search sucks nowadays, I consistently get even worse results with e. g. DuckDuckGo. And I think part of the reason is because the world wide web also sucks a LOT more compared to the old days. Google is also partially responsible for this by the way, which just reinforces the idea that Google must die.)
