It is sad to me that in 2024 if I search "Moby-Dick by Herman Melville" (no quotes) on Google, the free Project Gutenberg ebook isn't even in the top ten results

@darius two ads, a wikipedia summary, a couple more sites and then Gutenberg. IDK why anyone still uses google search in this decade

@enobacon to be clear that DDG result is also abysmal!

@darius because there's two ads? Add the words full text, there's still two ads but no summaries.

@enobacon I mean if you add full text on Google it's number one, no ads at all. I've used Google and DDG and both really suck and it pains me
