More and more, our search-fu is being actively thwarted. Tools to tailor our search have been steadily taken away: exclusion/inclusion operators, verbatim search ignored, and on and on.
- autoexec 3y ago> exclusion/inclusion operators, verbatim search ignored, and on and on. I've been assuming that this was just a bug with DDG and not a deliberate attempt to cripple their search engine. I've seen it with Google results too, but I could buy that Google would break them, since making websites harder to find encourages people to pay for prominently placed ads, but what would DDG's motivation be?
- tourmalinetaco 3y agoWell DDG earns money from ads as well, so presumably the same reason.
