- rank0 5y agoNo, but I expect more than a wrapper for bing. The tank man incident shows that the image search results (at least for that specific query) were directly taken from a single source without modification.
- Taylor_OD 5y agoOkay so you expect content to be quality checked and if not strong enough then for it to be sourced from another search engines data or to be pulled themselves? Again sounds like high expectations for a 150 person company.
- rank0 5y agoYou’re missing the point. You made up that silly requirement not me. I keep saying “more than a wrapper for bing” I don’t understand how to phrase it more directly. I mean come on, there’s not any logic server side to pull from multiple sources if the query yields ZERO results?! For a search as simple as “tank man”?! Why on earth does anyone need more than 150 employees for a simple check like that? Sounds like you need to raise your own standards rather than lower everyone else’s.
- Taylor_OD 5y agoI'm just not understanding what you want them to do bar creating their own search engine. You want other sources to be checked if a search returns zero results to prevent something like the tank man issue, right? How would one accomplish that? Create their own search engine. Purchase search results from someone else. Do Yahoo and Ask.com sell their search results? I don't know. But I'm assuming if it was as easy as, "have two data streams to pull from" then DDG would have implemented it.
