I am an almost daily user of mariadb. However, when i google anything mariadb query wise i instead type mysql. As the two dialects are nearly identical but there is more documentation available for the mysql search keyword on google.
- tomxor 5y agoSame here. Only time I search for mariadb is when it's mariadb specific configuration.
- johncena33 5y agoYou should use bing or duckduckgo. I've been hearing lately on HN that they are many orders better than Google.
- bool3max 5y agoI have found the opposite to be the case.
- grepfru_it 5y agodefinitely not duckduckgo. bing has been on par, with technical searches but lacking otherwise
- tomxor 5y agoKeep in mind this is changing over time. Search engines do not stand still, I keep bouncing between Google and DDG, the former has been steadily decreasing in quality and the later increasing to the point that I now use DDG first. I'm not necessarily saying your opinion at this moment in time will change, only that you should re-evaluate it occasionally.
- Tijdreiziger 5y agoWhy not DDG? I switched from Google to DDG a few years ago, and have been satisfactorily using it since.

- stjohnswarts 5y agoMany orders? Come on. I have had better results on one or the other and flip between them but not “orders of magnitude” different.
- contravariant 5y agoAt searching? I can't comment on bing but duckduckgo is different, not necessarily better. In fact for vague matches and context sensitive terms it's quite a bit worse than google.
- pradn 5y agoThere's an interesting push-and-pull here. Keep the existing dialect to make it easy to switch, or add differentiating features that may introduce dialect incompatibility. An issue as old as time for SQL DBs.
