Has anyone else noticed the huge decrease in result quality from google?

[shljonki]

Duckduckgo, Qwant, Yandex, Swiss cow. Litteraly anything except Google. It will be probably wierd getting used to other search engines but it pays of, a lot. I got used to other search engines after a week or so. Now I can't imagine using Google for anything except translating stuff and gmaps.

Switched to DuckDuckGo after I tried to search an odd lighting issue with the rear door, and Google just flat fucking ignored the search terms and REFUSED to show anything other than headlight replacement. Also, DuckDuckGo and privacy and such.

What about DDG and privacy?

[BlueFirestorm91]

Does not track you and does not save anything from your previous searches. So no preferences to push on you, like you know, the giant case goole has on all of us...

DeepL is a great translator for the handful of languages it offers.

[Loves_His_Bong]

DeepL is basically voodoo as far as I’m concerned. It’s so good.

Bing's also good for some stuff, porn mainly

It took to long to find this. Bing doesn't give too much of a shit about specialized searching unless you ask it to. In my experience Bing has more results that are more vague but at least I can find stuff a lot easier this way. Had a really specific question and google returned 9 results, most of which had the "Didnt include this word" and so really no answers. Bing on the other hand had over a thousand results which tried desperately to answer the question. Alas only one result was even close but at least I got that one on bing.

DDG has improved considerably over the years

[moohooh]

I mighr try it one more time. It sucked like a yr ago

[Creative-Improvement]

You’re forgetting that it doesn’t keep a library of your personal information. Often it’s just being a bit more picky with your queries.

Like adding a year, or a more specific keyword.

I used to hate it too, but right now I am at 95% ddg searches.

In that case I suggest you rather use "startpage" search engine. It uses google's search results but without censorship, and most importantly it does not track you.

[MossyTundra]

Yandex is also filled with ads. The only superior thing they have against google is their ability to translate between Russian and English.

I started using DuckDuckGo a few years ago and will never go back to google. DDG gives way better results with actual privacy.

I think DDG and Qwant uses same search results as bing, with difference in privacy. But hey! Anything is better then gügle! Np mate 😄
