My experience doesn't go past the free trial, but yes, it is very good. It's basically Google-level search quality, but without the removal of features and dropping quality that Google itself experiences in the last few years.
That said, it's still just a regular old search engine. If you used Google 10 years ago, you have a pretty good idea what this feels like. It doesn't really do anything new or revolutionary. It's not a "wow, this is amazing" experience, it's just a "well, this actually works" kind of thing.
Not something I'd pay $10/month for, but if you want to move away from Google without it feeling like a downgrade, it's currently the only real alternative. Bing, DDG (which is just Bing with window dressing), Yandex, BraveSearch are all still quite a bit worse than Google and even Google itself is nowhere near as good as it once was.
Recently I get good result with Ecosia.
