Google's search results have become pretty much useless for anything but like... how to videos and song lyrics. I know there are better alternatives out there in the year of our lord 2022, but I've been using Google since before it was a verb. Any suggestions?
Also, how difficult is it to build an open source search engine? I imagine it's not something that a group of hexbear coders could manage, but if I'm wrong... we could really use a search engine with an explicitly leftwing bias.
This is my go-to as well. It actually works, for a wide range of topics.
Also, fuck you google. You don't know better than me - if I included a search term, I fucking want it in the results. None of that "these search terms are excluded from this result" shit should've ever been implemented. I'm tired of having to use quotes around each and every search term.
Ah, it's a product, and I reckon most people don't google "fixing sram p7 instructions" but instead do "how do I fix an sram p7 gear hub"
But since the tech doesn't bend that way, ya gotta exclude some shit. Whenever something gets more user friendly, it also gets a lot worse for anybody with half an idea of what they're doing
that's my fault sorry. i google things like i'm asking someone a question lol
I've actually started doing this one, too, because I get more results from actual people asking the same question. At some point, dumb guy googling became so common that it actually became more efficient.
That makes sense. I wish they included an opt-out though.
