[–] OsrsNeedsF2P@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 years ago (2 children) You're saying Bing has better results than Google? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] amazing_stories@lemmy.world 20 points 2 years ago (1 child) Not who you replied to, but I've been using DuckDuckGo for years knowing it's limitations and would occasionally use Google if I needed more specific search results, however, these days Google Search is about the same as DDG and (even as a fan) I have to admit DDG was never and is not a spectacular search engine. Honestly, the thing that surprises me most is that when I get inadequate results from DDG and try Google, the results are basically the same. Not a great look for Google. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] L3mmyW1nks@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (1 child) Are you me? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] nicky7@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 years ago Same thought. Try kagi search. Search is better, I believe they use their own indexing, and you're their customer, not the product, so there's incentive to providing good service to customer instead of being treated like cattle and it shows! permalink fedilink source parent [–] toddestan@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago DuckDuckGo is not Bing, though they get most of their results from Bing so they end up pretty similar. And yes, I would say it's better. Not that Bing is particularly good and their search results have also taken a nosedive. But they are still way better than the garbage results I get out of Google. permalink fedilink source parent
