Can't say I'm ever surprised to see another "WTF Google" post. The search has degraded a lot over the years.
With that said, I've tried to switch on more than one occasion and Bing might be the only alternative that worked for me. DuckDuckGo is always way off the mark, no matter how many chances I've given it over the years. Google still wins, even with the ads and spammy stuff.
- bluepoint 4y agoSome people here a few days ago recommended kagi, a paid service with a limited free option. I have been trying it and so far the results seem great!
- dylanowen 4y agoKagi has been amazing: verbatim mode that actually works, blocking sites you don't want to see, boosting sites you always want to prioritize, and lists of sites you can customize for specific searches.
- autotune 4y agoBased off your recommendation and others, and looking at the site and it’s features, I am going to sign up for a month and give it a real try. I’ve been using google since the beginning and it feels time for a change.
- boxed 4y agoI've switched. It's great at least for devs.
- ksidudwbw 4y agoBrave Search has done it for me
- carewell 4y agoI am surprised by how well it works. Makes me wonder if they do use Google or Bing indexes after all.
- JasonFruit 4y agoI've been using it, and it's not bad, but I do fall back on Google fairly often.
- xenospn 4y agoI thought DDG was mostly bing results at this point?
- mrobins 4y agoThis is entirely anecdotal but recently many top results in DDG read like they’re written by GPT-3 or the like. Half coherent sprawls of text that contain lots of random factoids but nothing novel or that actually answers the question.
- bityard 4y agoNo, this is just how most bloggers talk. /s
