I switched to duck duck go back in the day cause I felt like the quantity of bullshit (not the ads but the ones that are supposed to help you with your search) were detrimental to my “keyword picking ability”… now going back to Google feels unreal

Same here. DDG is so much better. And I love that I can do !mcwiki diamond to search the minecraft wiki for “diamonds”

My problem with ddg is that I can’t refine my search by excluding keywords, only by adding more. For example, it’s frustrating if I’m looking to buy a product locally and half the page is Amazon results.

If I add -amazon to the query on ddg I don’t get any Amazon results. Is this not the car for you?

It is not. It works fine for google, but not for DDG.

That is weird. I wonder why we are seeing so different behavior from ddg.
