I wanted to finish reading it, but that post was so friggin' long! It's good to know that the feeling of "wow, search results have really gotten worse" isn't a unique one.
IMO, the only way to improve this is to have a decentralised/distributed search engine. Unfortunately, YaCY is written in Java and amazingly slow on the server as well as at getting results (see test instance). PreSearch is basically web3 crap. And I can't think of another search engine with the same model.
Since the fediverse is picking up steam, maybe there's a chance that a federated search engine could be made, but who knows...
