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.
