What is the least SEO-fucked search engine? - Lemmy

What search engine is currently showing the most useful results? What other tricks do we have aside of adding “reddit” or whatever internet community to the results?

I am not sure whether DDG or SearX results are optimised by someone, but it is different from what I would see on Google for a given topic.

Duckduckgo uses search results from Bing, combined with other search engines and their own bot if Wikipedia is to be believed.

No Google search results are used.

This explains why their results are so much worse than Google’s.

For some things. For other things they're better. Google has really jumped the shark in the past two years.

I mostly just use it for when I want corporate style results, like shopping.
