Comment on Why do many search engines seem to ignore operators (e.g. exact phrases, term exclusions, OR, etc.)? Is there a good reason for having a dumb 1997-level search logic that I'm not seeing?

Yeah, after some years of DDG getting worse I finally dropped them. I switched to Brave and it’s surprisingly decent for an independent search engine. If you search for something that they don’t have good results for they’ll ask you if you want to get anonymous results from google as well, which means I don’t usually have to switch search engines for harder results.

They do seem to have a much lower number of image results though.

  Why? I’ve never used it, so not disagreeing, but that seems a pretty strong reaction to a search engine.

    it’s more about the browse and by extension the brand, not so much about the search engine per se.

    Oh ok - is the browser dodgy in some way? I’m not familiar with it.
