Not the person you are replying to but DDG is just as bad as Google at returning and prioritizing blogspam results. “Recipe for oatmilk” returns a slew of 2500 word articles that start with “What is Oatmilk” and “How is Oatmilk Different from Milk”. I just want to know the ratios. A search engine they can do that for me would be great.
Another example “XYZ-brand motorcycle boots after crash”. I want to know how well they survive an actual crash and the brand is popular enough that I bet there are plenty of images out there. Yet all I get is a bunch of promo images of brand new boots.
Give me a search engine that’ll actually return results I want!
- utucuro 3y agoI've been using DDG as my exclusive search engine for longer than I can remember now, possibly since they were first mentioned on HN, I can't remember though. Unfortunately, it was much better than it is today. Not only can I no longer refine results in a meaningful way by negative searches, but the results themselves are also worse even in cases where that does not come into play...
