Reading the article, I think the biggest hurdle for adoption of DDG in Europe is simply that the search results in non-english suck in comparison to other search engines. Not only that, but if my language contains characters outside of ASCII, performing a query and then repeating the query with a bang to get better result from another engine results in failure to redirect. Now I have to cut the query, repeat the bang and then paste the query into the other engine manually.
Ddg still has its issues, but it can be useful for avoiding some types of SEO targeting articles
Sorry, had to clarify. The results suck for non-english content.
:(((
Still use it though, just expect to add !g half the time.
Two tildes have to be enclosed around text to get a strike-through styling.
~~like this~~~~like this~~~~duh~~ thanks :)
Voyager iOS tricks me, still shows strikeouts with single tildes!
If you upgrade, this should be fixed btw!
Yayyy!
Shows single-tilde enclosures as superscript. That’s expected right?
Yes!
I'd prefer !sp for mostly Google-accurate Startpage results, or something that redirects to a living SearxNG insurance, please.
