What search engine works these days?

Google is pretty much dead. I wasted 20 minutes looking up one of junk products that are on a YouTube video. Three pages in and it was all the same sponsored story on a multitude of sites all over the world. I switched to DuckDuckGo, same exact thing. I used to get different results using DuckDuckGo. I am not aware of a search engine that is worthwhile these days. Is there one? TIA
