"Google's results are clearly getting worse". Can somebody quantify this in some objective way?

As in: I have this concrete metric (that anybody can inspect / replicate) and I saw it declining from 201X to 2022 etc.

I don't dispute that it is a true fact. The comments reveal both ways that this manifests, inventive workarounds and possible causes. But without having read through the 765 comments(!) (at time of posting) I don't see something that can be quoted as a measured reality.

NB: It would be really useful to have such an independent quality index, also for future reference when invariably somebody provides a "better" search engine.
