          Yeah. Better than nothing. Btw have you tried alternative search engines? I mean from scratch search engines, not meta/outsourced search engines like searx, duckduckgo, whoogle, startpage. It is the only way to get rid of the seo, if the engine’s index is authentic. Personally, I have settled on Brave Search
