Yes, it's getting worse, but somehow no one can beat their very low bar. I always start with Brave or DDG, and a high percentage of the time I need to resort to `!g`. Recently, I couldn't remember the domain name for the web game, https://plurality.fun. Searching "plurality game" in DDG, Brave, and even Bing, the results are quite bad¹. However, the site I wanted was the #1 result on Google. I've been using alternative search engines like DDG since ~2015, and I'm quite disappointed at the lack of innovation so far. It feels like a $20 bill on the sidewalk, so I assume I'm missing some reason why they all suck, but for the life of me I don't have an explanation. ¹To be fair, the site I wanted is pretty crappy, and not necessarily what everyone wants with those search terms. Nevertheless, it was #14 on Brave's search, where 3 of the top 5 results are links to the same academic paper, "When are plurality rule voting games dominance-solvable?" on three separate domains. |
