I also personally experienced this today as well. I was trying to find the codename for my friends phone on his phone, which has Google as the default browser. I tried 3 different search queries, which gave me nothing but utter garbage. Then I searched it on my phone, which has Yandex as its default browser.

Boom, it just gave me it, straight at the top, on the quick answer dialog. Same for Kagi, which is a paid but good search engine.

Google is ruined, was so much better 6 years ago.
