The real problem here is that Google does this even when we use double quotes and the verbatim option :-/
I switched to DDG a while ago, -it is about as good as Google now, much thanks to Googles own effort ower the last decade to nerf its own search engine.
Since they are now about equal I use the one that doesn't track me and doesn't support Google.
- gargravarr 7y agoI've just changed my browser default to DDG. Think I'm gonna start detox'ing myself from Google.
- klingonopera 7y agoI've been using DDG for about half a year now, most of the time it does its job, but just yesterday, there was a case where I had to run back to Google: Searching for the "Ship of Theseus" with the words "ship replaced part by part" on Google lead me straight to the Wiki article, whereas on DDG... Not sure if they're using a statistical (DDG could never compete, too few searches performed) or an algorithmic (DDG could, in time, get this far too) pattern to achieve correct results. EDIT: It's about the tenth result on DDG, the last one to show before having to click to load more results. Not bad, actually.
