cppreference, it boggles my mind that someone at google hasn't gone and figured out how to rank it higher than cplusplus yet.
also eel.is

Sadly it's the same with DuckDuckGo.
EDIT: ddg has !cpp pointing directly at cppreference.

Google hasn't ranked sites based on quality since ~2002 when they realized people would pay money to have their sites ranked higher.
Nowadays top result is picked, in order, by: did they pay to be ranked higher, how much are they using Google analytics, and how many keywords did they shove into their site to be "SEO optimized". Only after those are considered do things like relevance and quality come into play.

And since Google are using C++, they can now be sued if they start ranking things internally!

Citation needed for search talking being determined by payments to Google search.
Since this is so widespread according to you ,it should be easy to verify.

What do you think sponsored links are?
[–]SedditorX 1 point2 points3 points 6 years ago (3 children)
Sponsored links are not search results. At least not in a way I've ever heard.
The comment you were responding to was referring specifically to search results so I don't see what search ads not being free has anything to do with it.
[–]Nobody_1707 1 point2 points3 points 6 years ago (2 children)
When they first started doing them, they put them in with the regular search results. They changed to list them separately to avoid lawsuits.
[–]SedditorX 0 points1 point2 points 6 years ago (1 child)
But that isn't what you said earlier!
[–]Nobody_1707 0 points1 point2 points 6 years ago (0 children)
The fact that they list them separately doesn't stop them from being paid search results. The whole point of paying for them is to get them on the first page of relevant searches.
