That's okay. I'm using duckduckgo anyways. Either it just gives me better results or I got so used to it over the years that I can't make good google-compatible

Either it just gives me better results or I got so used to it over the years that I can't make good google-compatible queries anymore.
- cogman10 2y agoNah, Google search has gotten horrifically bad. Pretty much every major competitor is better now, including the oldies like yahoo.
- taneq 2y agoThis is something that I’ve pondered from time to time. I used to have fantastic Google-fu (or alternately, Google used to be fantastic, and it was them that had the fu.) I switched to DDG in 2017 or something, and initially my search results (for whatever reason) weren’t as good. After a few months I found that they were pretty good, and more so, any time I dropped back to Google when I got stuck, the results were hot garbage. I put this down to losing my Google-fu and simultaneously acquiring DDG-fu, but I do wonder…
- rascul 2y agoI find DDG better than Google in general but it's annoying getting local results for unrelated things inserted. For an example, if I search for "protonvpn opensuse", then on page 2 I get results for a local charity, a state political party, and a local cannabis dispensary. Edit to add: I do not get those results when using bing directory.
