| That's what I use as default. But IMO it is a far cry from 2007 Google and only holds a candle because Google has nerfed itself. And sadly, much of it isn't because they don't have resources for AI or even larger index but because of the same QA issues that Google has struggled with: - including results that doesn't contain my search terms / too much fuzzing - ignoring double quotes Both probably in order to please the mythical ordinary/average user I guess. Guess what: techies got me to change to startup Google and I guess we will get people to change to another search engine as soon as one is ready. In the meantime I use DDG. The difference is mostly negligible now and when it isn't it is 20 times faster (I don't think this is hyperbole) to mash in a !g at the end of my DDG search than the other way around. FTR: same goes for browsers. For me Firefox has always been best, but they have nerfed themselves and keep ignoring us techies to such a degree that I will - if necessary - pay monthly to get a safe, supported version of the same with my old extensions working, but not to Mozilla Foundation, only to the Corporation (the ones who create the browser) or someone else. |
