Google is bad, but people have no idea how bad search could actually get. Trying to find DPRK housing stats and DDG will only give me pages about recent canadian housing news.

DuckDuckGo is very heavily censored against leftist sources. They admitted censoring and/or de-prioritizing and downranking massively Russian sources after the start of the Ukraine conflict. So that could be a part of the problem. Yandex might be worth a try, they seem to index more non-western sources and not shove them to the bottom.

Yandex

My mind parses this as "Yandere Index"

Russian sources are typically not leftist? I can't tell if you intended your 1st and 2nd sentences to be understood separately or together.

Leftists are the only people who oppose NATO cheerleading over a war NATO aggression provoked and guess who's going to be posting shit that is critical of that (typically Russian) (it's leftists)

Yandex is really good at images. Maybe the best. Haven’t been as wowed by the web search.
