I use duck duck go as well. I wish it wasn’t just anonymised Bing search. One of these days I’ll look into an open source independent search engine.

I think the trick here is to not use Google. The Wikipedia page for the movie heat is the first result on DuckDuckGo

That’s what I use, it’s still just using other search engines to get results though.

I haven’t used Bing in a while but I alternate between Ecosia and DDG, supposedly Bing as their main provider. I find more and more differences between them nowadays so I do feel DuckDuckBot and Qwant partnership are doing their thing. I’m optimistic about both of them broadening their sources as they state in their websites.

though it’s not free, I suggest Kagi. It’s only a few dollars a month. Then you can be sure you’re not the product.

DDG also has a quick answer AI
nickiam2@aussie.zone 2 days ago
Its does, but its less annoying and actually has an off switch
MajesticElevator@lemmy.zip 2 days ago
It does?? I was using Brave because it had AI
(And also because so many websites are censored on DDG for some reason)

I think the trick is to put the word “movie”

You can also search Wikipedia directly.

PSA for Firefox/fork users, click the button to the left of the search bar after clicking blank space in the search bar, you’ll get a list of choices besides just your primary selection. You can add more:

Yeah, first part of any fresh Fox setup is changing the default search engine.

if anyone using ddg, you can do this by just adding !w for a direct Wikipedia search, or even !imdb for a direct imdb search without going to the respective sites first.
___@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 days ago
Yup, using the bang !w anywhere within the search
