Another useful feature for power users that Google is killing.
They don’t care about us that day they we have a problem and the solution is in a now defunct site. That doesn’t generate revenue. “When People search on Google they need to find what they need on a click on the ads”, the shareholders are saying
It would be nice if DuckDuckGo integrated with the archive.is/thewaybackmachine on it’s results to show archived versions of them / archive the current version.
It would be nice if DDG would start showing me the results I searched for, man
Feel like I’ve been going insane the past month, have to go Google things because DDG just seems to have no clue about simple queries.
That’s been an issue for me as well. DDG is my default search engine, but the majority of the time I have to add the !g as it struggles with context. It’ll find plenty of results matching the words I type in, but not quite understand that how those words are arranged matter.
What I find infuriating is when I click a search result and it’s not what I wanted, so I hit back to try the next one and the search results have changed. And the second set is almost always worse.
Yes! It’s so annoying!
That’s probably a bing problem
Yeah DDG has been getting way worse lately. I find it unusable about 50% of the time now. I think it’s a Bing thing on the back end.
Kagi! I can’t say it enough, it’s the new growth in the underbrush from the dumpster fire of google. Web archive of sites is there and tot can use context filters. You can even prioritize sites in results. I don’t to see Pinterest in results ever again.
Yes it’s a paid search, but the priority is bringing quality results without ads. This is a reasonable trade off to me that, so far, keeps their interest in serving the searching end user as their customer, not their target.
Kagi does this with web archive
