What search engine do you use?

posted 1 year ago

I live in a country which uses a language I don’t speak but Google defaults to regional results in spite of my language being set to English. All other engines give me really poor results (not that Google was giving good ones, the image search has really gone to shit since they started populating it with AI stuff).

Nothing compares to DuckDuckGo with bangs, which let you change over to any other search engine with two or three characters. I usually use !g (Google), !w (Wikipedia) and !aw (ArchWiki).

I didn’t know DDG introduced that feature. That’s sick honestly. They even have bangs for my more obscure wikis.

I had no idea they had this feature. Thank you, I don’t think I’ll use anything ever again unless I absolutely have to now.
