Not because DDG got better, but just because google got worse.

google is still better for site-specific searches, and google scholar still has minimal AI slop

To be honest with you, I didn't even know that was a feature. (Unless I'm misunderstanding you.) Sounds cool!

If I need to search a website, I use either Ctrl+F or the site: search engine operator.

Yes, I'm so glad that operators like site: and before: are supported. Necessary for weeding out a few bad results aha

Yeah, I'm still salty that Google and most other search engines have cut out some of the boolean operators over the last decade or so.
