Well, reports about the relative uselessness of modern search engines was bound to hit the general population at some point.
I've suggested that people try Bing or DDG rather than Google for some searches, but it seems it's more a question of luck rather than anything else nowadays.
- lbriner 4y agoI've tried using Ecosia for their good environmental work but I frequently get a server error when searching but also it seems like searching for programming content rarely returns the right stuff, which might be page 1 on Google. Google do have a lot of headstart over other search engines. Maybe what we need is a Developers search engine which weights results towards programming sites and also downgrades those drivereasy type posts which have a lot of fluff followed by "download drivereasy to sort all your problems".

- 2000UltraDeluxe 4y agoI'm not surprised. As said: it seems to be a matter of luck more than anything else.
