Google search pages beyond 5 tend to be bots or malware?

[F eq ma]

Anyone else noticing a large number of google search results for keyboards related topics beyond the 5th page seem to be bogus, or worse, malware click baits?   I have seen a lot of weird redirects and web pages obviously built for keyword hits.   I use an iPad for web browsing, so most of it is jailed, but wondering how many have been hit with malware in the community?

I don't think I ever click past the first page of results, definitely not past the second, so I haven't noticed. If something is that deep in my search results, I just try to refine my search terms or switch to a different search engine.

DuckDuckGo
Startpage
Searx.info
Pick one, or two, sometimes they have issues accessing Google's engine but they're MUCH better.

I was using DDG, but went to Startpage (better layout), now I use Searx (better still) with DDG as a backup (Startpage seems to have the most issues with the engine). I only use Google itself if I have to and I'm always amazed at how horrible it has become every time I do.

Google personalizes your results, your neighbor can do the same search and get a different result.

DDG acts as a proxy, meaning everyone's searches appear to be from one user or a handful, so while the results will be more consistent they won't be the same as YOU get from Google.
