Here's a real example that just occurred. A Search for "jquery select visited anchor" on DDG returns the jquery selectors docs first (okay match) and jquery.com match second (useless). A search on google.com, the first 2 results are SO answers that answer exactly my question.
My point isn't specifically you rank SO lower than it should imo (although i do think this is the case) - its in general, for me, you return roots of homepages or brands at hte top when the query is clearly looking for something very specific.
- epi0Bauqu 15y agoI'm not seeing that result set at all. Do you have a region set? I'd appreciate emailing me a screen shot if you don't mind at yegg@duckduckgo.com Btw, we index SO ourselves, e.g. https://duckduckgo.com/?q=nginx+apache https://duckduckgo.com/?q=nginx+apache We just have a high bar to show it, but are working on that piece so it comes up more. It's also full punctuation.
