Comment on Google Search Really Has Gotten Worse, Researchers Find
brbposting@sh.itjust.works 1 year agoI swear I’m going to capture screenshots of 2-3 dozen searches across DDG & Google, as well as hopefully Bing, Startpage… SearXNG…
b/c DDG is doodoo while corporate overlord Google is great with Ublock Origin.
Faithfully perform every search on DDG first in the hopes I can keep the data out of Google’s hands! But !g out half the time.

Anybody know of a site, app, or TamperMonkey script that’ll search multiple search engines side-by-side?
In the meantime, one example w/a direct quote from deep inside a Harry Potter book:
Genuinely, thank you for going through the trouble. I know it’s a huge ask, especially because it’s not easy to retroactively remember a specific type of search you were struggling with on one engine versus the other.
*Insert joke about how Google is the woke search engine here*
Works on SearX

You know DDG is just a wrapper around Bing right? No point comparing the two.

Not entirely true, they have their own index they use to augment/modify the results with. Like the paper linked in this very post shows, actually.
