In some sense that's kind of the point right? If Qwant isn't tracking user information than we _expect_ the results to be different, since the engine doesn't have a chance to build up an information bubble about its users.
- vntok 8y agoDifferent is fine, however I certainly don't expect my search results to be atrocious.
- nine_k 8y agoThere can be a number of queries where no context is required to give a relevant answer, because the query carries enough context. E.g. html5 working draft when new york city was founded aapl ticker us consulates in germany can i haz cheezeburger there is no spoon tyger tyger burning bright hurricane florence I did not try any of these, though.
- dsl 8y ago> If Qwant isn't tracking user information than we _expect_ the results to be different We expect the answers to be correct. Google can use everything it knows about me to turn an abstract term like "giants" into SF Giants or New York Giants, but when I explicitly enter "san francisco giants" as part of a query and still get poor results, that is a failure.
- gleenn 8y agoIf 2 pages have similar topics and coverage, and 1 is ranked higher on Google and the other higher on Qwant, who is "correct"? Search is a fuzzy thing, and while some results might be objectively, I challenge your notion of correctness.
- pbreit 8y agoIf tracking is going to give me much better results, seems worth it. Would a better positioning be "safe" tracking (whatever that would exactly mean)? I'm not sure matching Google, but a little worse, is best objective.
