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

Ironically I find ChatGPT pretty good for certain types of searching.

    ChatGPT is great for when what you're looking for is the proper search term.
    If I don't know what term to google, I can describe what I'm looking for and then nudge the bot in the right direction till it spits out the term.
