Besides Privacy DDG is wayy better then Google And Bing + It has a better search quality.

[–] toynbee@lemmy.world 14 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I prefer DDG to either as well, but in terms of search quality ... Don't they use Bing search results?

[–] Mwa@lemm.ee 5 points 2 months ago

Yes they use Bing but i think they did some adjustments to improve the search quality (Correct me if am wrong)

[–] conartistpanda@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

I disagree with the quality part.

[–] I_Has_A_Hat@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago (2 children)

DDG may be better for privacy, but I've found their search results to be garbage.

Make sure you have regional results enabled if you're not from the US, results get way better (just make sure the little toggle right below the search bar is on)

[–] Mwa@lemm.ee 2 points 2 months ago

It shows less results but i find it to be better personally.

I don't think there's a difference in search quality, but I do really like the bangs and the client-side settings (can completely disable the AI noise, enable dark mode, etc all w/o needing an account).

I think Kagi is way better, but unluckily it's a paid product. Most of the people will never pay for a search engine.
