Google Indexing Bard Conversations In Search Results - Lemmy.world

DuckDuckGo is, in my opinion after a lot of use, an inferior search engine to Google overall but thank god it doesn’t force AI bullshit on me.
That was my experience a few years ago. I would find myself first searching in DDG then using the g! or SP! search bangs to use Google or startpage. However, I have not needed that in at least a year or two. DDG now pretty much meets all my search needs.

What DDG doesn’t seem to do well is search a term which includes an exact match phrase. What I mean is this.

If I search in DDG for ‘eyepatchcheetah “That was my experience a few years ago.”’ it will give me a bunch of unrelated results with all of those words but not necessarily in that order, but if I put that into Google, this thread would be more likely to be at the top. This is a way I search for things quite often, so it’s kind of annoying to have to go back to Google to do those sorts of searches.

Same. It completely ignores exact phrase match so you can't drill down with the most important aspects of a query. Ecosia was the same way IIRC, so it might be related to people using Bing data as a 3rd party perhaps
It’s such a stupid thing to not work. If you’re looking for a specific webpage or even an error code or something it’s just impossible now.
