I wish I could tell ddg that I only care about postgresql.
It seems heavily skewed to oracle/ms server when searching anything sql related. Perhaps because it's powered by Bing?
- ams6110 8y agoOr because the number of Oracle/MS SQL Server installations dwarf Postgres in the real world?
- akuchling 8y agoAdd '!psql' to your search. A full list of these is at https://duckduckgo.com/bang https://duckduckgo.com/bang .
- baddox 8y agoTwo problems with that: it only searches the official PostgreSQL documentation (not things like StackOverflow), and perhaps more importantly, it doesn't work at all (it doesn't correctly pass your query to the PostgreSQL site).
- da_chicken 8y agoI wish I could tell DDG that I don't give a shit about Python 2.7. Stop linking me to the Python 2 doc! I haven't used Python 2 in five years!
- quicklime 8y agoI wish I could tell both DDG and Google that I don't care about Java 7. Not sure why they both default to giving old Javadocs, but I suspect it's due to a lot of enterprise developers who are still stuck in old versions.
- reaperducer 8y agoDitto for macOS versions more than three years old. How to change the screenshot directory in Panther isn't going to help me in Mojave. But even with quotation marks, Google ignores half of what I request.
- gnicholas 8y ago> But even with quotation marks, Google ignores half of what I request. Now you have to go to Tools and change All Results to Verbatim every single time you want it to stick with your actual search terms. It's a shame the quotation marks don't mean anything anymore.
- dnlsrl 8y ago!python3
- FabHK 8y agoOr even !py3, for us lazy types.
- bitpush 8y agoYou do realize what you're asking for is personalization, right?
- da_chicken 8y agoPersonalization would be asking the system to learn that I don't want Python 2.x. I want to be able to tell the search to exclude Python 2.x results. It's like the difference between me creating a bookmark and the browser generating a "favorite sites" list.
- megous 8y agoIt's the same for postgresql. Search 'postgresql select' and the first result is to a 9 year old postgresql version's docs.
