Where the machine is right, it's right.

I've been told the DDG results are the same as Google, yet every time I compare they are quite different.

I've been using DDG since Trump's first term, when Google started manipulating COVID search results if memory serves.

[–] toynbee@lemmy.world 2 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

DDG defaults to the Bing database, iirc. Probably that's not all that different from Google, but I think you can preface your search with !g to get identical results.

[–] Supercrunchy@programming.dev 1 points 13 hours ago (2 children)

if you put !g anywhere it'll redirect you to google.com

Here’s what I like about it:

But also turning off AI and location.

[–] toynbee@lemmy.world 2 points 13 hours ago

If, like me, you don't like to login to things, you can set your browser to use NoAI DDG by default.

Graphic drifting how to as DDG without AI as a search engine in Firefox mobile

I don't know why you're all complaining. 1 mile = 3 muricaball fields = 24.7 Dodgeβ„’ Chargers = 2245.45 sausages = 3 thumbs-up (sponsored by Exxon and Doritos).

Its very simple.

[–] HeHoXa@lemmy.zip 1 points 3 hours ago

This is just absurd.

1 mi =17.6 muricaball fields ~ 309 dodge chargers ~ 10560 sausages

(oh god I fucked up the math didn't I... here it comes...)

[–] EmptyAsparagus@piefed.social 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

its not google or Microsoft. that alone makes ddg far superior.

[–] silentjohn@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 day ago (3 children)

It uses bing's search index though...

[–] EmptyAsparagus@piefed.social 1 points 19 hours ago

okay. have you tried it? the index isn't representative of the algorithm and IMHO the results are way better on ddg

It's not fun that you have to use multiple search engines now. I mainly use Qwant and I qwant to like it but wow is it terrible.

[–] Ripley_Tripley@lemmus.org 2 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Forget search engines, i feel like im going through different browsers now just to get what i want. The internet is getting so bloated cause of AI. πŸ˜‘πŸ˜‘

[–] myyass@lemmy.world 2 points 9 hours ago

It's a dumpster that was once fun.

I'm solely using DDG and while it took some time to acquainted with it these days I usually always find what I'm looking for.

[–] A_Random_Idiot@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago (3 children)

How can you say its superior when it wont even tell me how many washing machines are in a giraffe.

I’m pretty sure it’s just a fuzzy context match.

They at least had the good sense to shift USC to exact metric decimal definitions.

Yuck yuck yucky. USC hurts. And RIP US-based engineers.

I'm convinced the Imperial system is like those languages they make up for fantasy novels. I've only ever witnessed it in D&D and it seems impractical to learn for the day to day.
