I switched to duck duck go back in the day cause I felt like the quantity of bullshit (not the ads but the ones that are supposed to help you with your search) were detrimental to my “keyword picking ability”… now going back to Google feels unreal
My problem with ddg is that I can’t refine my search by excluding keywords, only by adding more. For example, it’s frustrating if I’m looking to buy a product locally and half the page is Amazon results.
That seems rather risky, considering that they don’t really check that they output accurate information, and OpenAI specifically recommends against using it for that due to the possibility of their GPT models outputting falsehoods as fact.
If you’re double-checking the sources, both to make sure that they exist, and they are accurate, you may as well do the research without using an LLM in the first place.
You’re just adding to your workload unnecessarily in that case.
I recently switched my default search from Google to DuckDuckGo: Google has begun refusing to find anything while exact same search on DuckDuckGo just works.
Google is slower because I have to think+ignore first half of the page due to Ads/SEO crud.
You are not logged in. However you can subscribe from another Fediverse account, for example Lemmy or Mastodon. To do this, paste the following into the search field of your instance: !technology@lemmy.world
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
maybe try the inurl operator
“it works on my machine”
Maybe OP’s “search results” were the ads at the top of the google results
Oh that stopped working a while ago. All site: will do now is put those results up top. It absolutely refuses not to also show you irrelevant results.
Is there a way to to something like this for Lemmy? This is one thing that I used all the time for Reddit and found immensely useful.

It’s still in EARLY development so expect bugs.
to do something
(Can’t edit my comment in this app)
There’s someone actually building this right now. It’s a Lemmy search engine. https://browse.feddit.de
Our cutting edge algorithm must feed you the content of whoever pays more. You don’t choose anymore. and you have to accept it.
BR, Paid Search Engines after investments dries.
I can’t reproduce this on desktop. can you try again in desktop mode
Can’t reproduce on mobile from EU. May be goe-limited or a study (google tests potential features on subset of users)

Same here. DDG is so much better. And I love that I can do
!mcwiki diamondto search the minecraft wiki for “diamonds”I ended up switching because Google changed their image search design that was just so much more difficult to browse
My problem with ddg is that I can’t refine my search by excluding keywords, only by adding more. For example, it’s frustrating if I’m looking to buy a product locally and half the page is Amazon results.
You can do that on ddg. See this link: http://duckduckgo.com/duckduckgo-help-pages/results/syntax
If I add
-amazonto the query on ddg I don’t get any Amazon results. Is this not the case for you?It is not. It works fine for google, but not for DDG.
That is weird. I wonder why we are seeing so different behavior from ddg.
Wrong. I regularly use “site:” all the time.
Google is just working hard to become less useful every day. I tend to use ChatGPT a lot instead of Google.
That seems rather risky, considering that they don’t really check that they output accurate information, and OpenAI specifically recommends against using it for that due to the possibility of their GPT models outputting falsehoods as fact.
As opposed to Google searching manually, which always has accurate outputs and never outputs falsehoods as fact. 🙂
As long as you double check the source of an answer I don’t see an issue.
If you’re double-checking the sources, both to make sure that they exist, and they are accurate, you may as well do the research without using an LLM in the first place.

I’m thinking that double checking is slightly faster than doing the research yourself.

Bug or most likely faked. I’m selling to bet this is a15 year old with a chip on their shoulder photoshopping shit.
Tech hate, so hot right now.
What do I need to do to prove it’s not fake? Record the screen from another phone?
I always have used inurl: instead to great effect. For instance if I wanted just the technology subreddit it would be inurl:reddit.com/r/technology
I just tried searching the same thing and it works for me
Works fine for me.
