All the results are now pages of links to products using that word as a name.

FWIW I use Yahpoo...... Looking for spelling I enter "**word** dictionary" and pretty much top of the list are links to dictionary pages and a range of spellings. Some American. So you have to pick Collins or OxfordOnline (eg) and avoid Merriam Webster (or visa versa) & ignore those that you don't recognise.

The one that pisses me off is Amazon sponsored adverts that just clutter, because going to their page reveals a search based on a subset of any terms I entered. Usually they ignore red whch is totally useless to me. OK, OK I don't need to look, but it is clutter. And anyway you can't get to basket without a "Prime Offer" page with a minute "don't bother" link. "don't bother" is my default, if not only position.

how is DuckDuckGo ? Not used it much but I have put it as default on Chrome (suck on that Goggle).
