> If Qwant isn't tracking user information than we _expect_ the results to be different

We expect the answers to be correct. Google can use everything it knows about me to turn an abstract term like "giants" into SF Giants or New York Giants, but when I explicitly enter "san francisco giants" as part of a query and still get poor results, that is a failure.

If 2 pages have similar topics and coverage, and 1 is ranked higher on Google and the other higher on Qwant, who is "correct"? Search is a fuzzy thing, and while some results might be objectively, I challenge your notion of correctness.
