If there were more search systems/engines there would be a wider variety of ways search results are optimized. Meaning SEO would have a greater level of diminishing returns. Having a single player creates a single point of weakness in search.

    There are a ton of them, the problem is none of them are as good as google.

    I hear there are good pay ones, though I have never tried one.

    I can usually find what I need on google pretty damn quick, although I have seen the end page more than once

    It depends what you're searching for. Some things are very hard to find that used to be easy.

    The solution I'd like to see is for Google to stop being anticompetitive. For example it just leaked that they pay half of their company wide profits to Apple in order to stop Apple from using (or creating) another search engine.

    Stop spending tens of billions of dollars per year trying to keep competition away, and instead invest all of that money into making Google Search a better product.
