I used to be able to use Google to search for topics and find old articles, but it’s so enshittified that it’s useless for that now.
Is there any good alternatives out there?

This might be overkill for your needs but you should see if your local library has Lexis-Nexis. It’s a research tool rather than a public search engine but it’s pretty comprehensive.
In fact, everyone should see what kind of random services their local library provides. I was shocked when I did that and found out we can checkout small power tools and stuff like that.
Can confirm, Lexis Nexis is the shiiiiiiit! I felt like a freaking wizard when I used it back in college.
Maybe give this a try: https://www.allsides.com/unbiased-balanced-news
Supposedly it tries to give you issues with sources from different perspectives to show how all the different news agencies portrays each event (and the spins they could be applying).
This looks really good. Thanks for suggesting
Thanks but I don’t need right wing news.
Especially not one that thinks CNN is far left.
Not a search engine, but I found this website a while back and it’s pretty cool.
Too much right wing bs.
Looks like you failed to understand “blind spot”. It shows shit that is not covered or read by you due to your own own biases, it literally helps you not stay in your echo own chamber.
it’s a right wing bs site for morons
Either I am a moron and did not realize this since it only shows me left-wing news because that’s all I prefer to read, or I am still a moron however you are making a conclusion with zero facts and spreading misinformation.
Not exactly for historical searching but for current news, I have been using Feedly and it’s been fantastic for grouping my local news sources/blogs together into one feed.
You might be interested in https://newsmap.ijmacd.com/. I haven’t used it in forever but its a pretty cool concept.
The Wayback Machine might be able to help you.
searx?
Probably the closest so far, but after trying it it doesn’t even respect exact quotes and you can’t filter by time frame.
