Most of us pirates and hacker types use Yandex or Baidu these days. We get MUCH BETTER quality searches there than the US search engines. And yes, I'm located in the US.
The ONLY problems we have are local-to-us searches. Then again, you're better off with a yellow pages/business phonebook than hoping that scroogle will give you what you ask for.
- smaudet 3y agoHow does that compare to duckduckgo? I use that almost exclusively these days...
- pndy 3y agoIn my case DDG abilities seriously deteriorated in last 6 months. I'm getting more ads or irrelevant results just because phrase happens to be pointing on something, someone that could bee considered as more "popular". There are also fillers that doesn't even come near my initial inquiry, like I'm seeing sites about Łódź Ghetto because it happens I'm in Poland. Why? I have no idea.
- boomboomsubban 3y agoduckduckgo is basically Bing without the AI. They use other sources too, but those seem to be more for like the automatic link to Wikipedia or the calculator that shows up if you type "7*44" I personally have found both duckduckgo and Google to be terrible recently. I've tried a bit of yandex, but the results weren't immediately superior enough to make me switch. Baidu I haven't tried.
- NayamAmarshe 3y agoBrave Search is a lot better.
- Lio 3y agoThe main problem with duckduckgo is that you can’t exclude results you don’t want. So if you’re searching for something on Linux and you add a -Microsoft term you’ll be served more windows results not less. That makes it pretty useless for narrowing results.
