Duck Duck Go has similar problems for me. It's also recently started sometimes ignoring the "-" when you try to exclude a word.
- yegg 3y agoWe put out a partial fix for that recently and a more complete fix is forthcoming.
- sen 3y agoPartial fix for the minus or the double quotes? Both are such a critical part for searching anything these days, it’d be a real shame to lose either.
- yegg 3y agoBoth.
- WarOnPrivacy 3y agoThat'll be awesome. The parts of the web that don't respect operands feel awful. Having a minus act like a plus has been particularly tough (for years now, I believe).
- chankstein38 3y agoIt's crazy how often you're in the comments of HN articles just waiting for a DDG shoutout haha it's appreciated!
- glimshe 3y agoThank you! As a heavy DDG user, PLEASE don't become Google. Stay great and private.
- Qwertious 3y agoI think the "-" is case-sensitive sometimes. So if you write "-honey" it'll still return "Honey" results, so you have to write "-honey -Honey".
- thesuitonym 3y agoNo, it just doesn't work at all. Search /r/duckduckgo for "- operator" to see tons of threads.
