 More and more often, google does not even allow to enter a captcha and
 refuses to search.

 Can you contact google please, explain what Tor is, and try to find a
 solution for Tor users?

 Any of the following.
 - They could be made aware of the Tor exit servers and use a less
 restrictive policy on them.
 - People who have a cookie and who send "human like" queries or don't send
 too much queries are allowed.
 - People who are logged in into Google, (who have non-suspicions gmail
 accounts) are allowed to search.
 - Server responds to Tor users much slower. (Making it unattractive for
 bots and acceptable for real users.)
 - Whatever you or they can think of.
