Even that won't change much. There is no way Google can be out-googled by other search engines because of its market dominance: more traffic means more clicks, more clicks mean better search results, better search results will drive more traffic.
I try bing and DDG for a week or so every 6 months. I always switch back to google eventually because the results are so much better.
Google can only be disrupted if something new is invented, something different than search but delivering way better results. I have no clue what that might be. But I hope someone is working on it.
- Zelphyr 6y agoI've had the exact opposite reaction to the comparison between Google and DuckDuckGo. I use the latter daily and only rarely revert to Google. Even then I usually don't find the results to be any better and often find them to be worse. In my estimation, Google's search results have significantly declined in recent years.
- wunderflix 6y agoHa, maybe I should give it a try again :) My 6 months period is almost over again.
- rstupek 6y agoAgreed. I've fully changed over to DDG on my phone and rarely add the !g to get a google search.
- internetslave 6y agoYup. My opinion has long been that the only thing that will take down google is a massive increase in NLP, such that the historical click data can be outperformed by a straight up really good NLP model
- wunderflix 6y agoThat's interesting. Is anyone working on this already? SV startup? And: don't you think Google is in the best position to build such a thing?
