Are you talking about duckduckgo? I tried `office -microsoft` just now and got the expected results: tv series, tv series podcast, government sites, bunch of businesses named Office. Nothing about Microsoft Office.
- Thorrez 4y agoHuh, it's showing Microsoft stuff for me: https://i.imgur.com/jrNw5LX.png https://i.imgur.com/jrNw5LX.png https://duckduckgo.com/?q=office+-microsoft&t=h_&ia=web https://duckduckgo.com/?q=office+-microsoft&t=h_&ia=web
- duckmysick 4y agoInteresting. I clicked your second link and I still got the results respecting the negative operator I mentioned in my post above. Edit: To confirm, `office` alone returns a page full of Microsoft results. If anyone from DuckDuckGo is lurking by any chance, I'd love to hear what makes it different.
- anonymoushn 4y agoI have these same results. Maybe there's an active A/B test where one bucket has a working search engine.
- autoexec 4y agoYeah. For a site that claims to help people escape the filter bubble this seems like evidence that they don't. Maybe it's your location, or your typical searches that are giving you better results, but duckduckgo fails that test for me every time.
