Not sure if anyone's the same, but I find Google search the least sticky of their services, i.e. I could manage fine if forced to use Bing (probably not as good, but probably good enough), but I would really struggle if Gmail or Google photos access was axed in my region.
- Doctor_Fegg 6y agoI'm the opposite - search is the only Google service I use (apart from occasionally recce-ing bike rides on Street View). I've tried to wean myself off it, and have succeeded for casual browsing on mobile, but for programming queries I don't find Bing or DDG anywhere near as good.
- lui8906 6y agoYou could use DDG and then add "!g" at the beginning for your programming queries.
- RL_Quine 6y agoRight, which is what everybody does, and then develops a reflex for !g on every query because DDG really doesn't work well for any sort of technical query.
- stubish 6y agoI keep hearing this, but personally fine that in the rare case I try !g for better results I don't get anything better.
