Duckduckgo is nearly useless when trying to search for specific and rare technical solutions for software and programming issues. since Google started its censorship programs, it isn't nearly as good as it used to be, but its still the best. If you want to search for more than just recipes and news stories use searx.me. It's an anonymized search engine powered by Google search results.

I use Bing because DDG sucks ass, and even then I still have to use Google when I'm developing. I finally just said fuck it and set up Chrome for work-only with only relevant bookmarks and keyword searches.

Across all categories, Searx can fetch search results from about 70 different engines.

It's a metasearch engine . . .

Kekmet-Peperoni ago

yeah, and it has an advanced search function which is a must for me.

What's your take on Startpage? I have found the results to be decent for technical/programming searches almost on par with Google though it's ads are slightly more annoying.

TurdLord5000 ago

Havent tried that one. I'll give it a go, thanks!

You can add “g!” To any duck duck search string to use google

TurdLord5000 ago

You converted me to duckduck go... any way to do it without the !g?

Just tried the "g!". I noticed a lot more results on all searches (web, images, videos). As TurtleHermitZ9k asked, does Google benefit from this?

Yea it’s supposed to be one more layer of anonymity. Doubtful though (((they))) see as much as Sauron

i_scream_trucks ago

somethingsgottagive ago

I wonder, when we use tricks like this, does Google still benefit by generating revenue at all?

This looks pretty cool, thank you.

If u want to stop their revenue use the Adblock that clicks all the links. It still blocks them in the user’s view bit fucks with the analytics.
