@flockofnazguls
yeah agreed. but i dont think ddg is at the level that google used to be wrt disambiguation

google is crapped up with ads and an agenda of feeding me what it wants me to see

ddg just can't suss out my context very well and ends up feeding me popular results if they are even tangentially related

i'd like to see a search engine that asks for more context and act on it... like if i search 'penguin' it should give me results but also ask "flightless waterfowl?" "linux"?

@limebar @flockofnazguls I've been using https://startpage.com for ten years and have found it robust and effective.

@elsemusic @limebar @flockofnazguls Looks like it's also Bing on the backend, just like DDG.

@elsemusic @limebar @flockofnazguls I’ve been using startpage for about a year and I’ve been happy with it. It allows for negative search operators which DDG does not.

@puffer @elsemusic @limebar @flockofnazguls It does now.
Both are Bing it seems.
