So ddg is down, so I visit Google. It's been some years.

I just can't believe how poor it's results are, and how it's trying to suggest things it think I might also want (and failing miserably).

I just assumed ddg would be the lesser, but I use it for privacy. Turns out I'm wrong.

How long has Google been this bad?

I did 2 searches yesterday that gave me crap on Google and then I tried Bing and it gave me what I was looking for on the first page.

You have infinitely other options. search.brave.com, yandex, bing. And probably a lot of cool ones I don't know about.

All of them search more accurately your directly requested phrase instead of a blurry interpretation of your sentiment.
