I know it’s been getting worse over time, but I could still find what I needed after some digging.

Recently it’s been like 10 minutes of adjusting search terms, still getting completely useless or irrelevant results, and me just giving up afterwards. Other search engines seem just as bad.

    The problem with DDG is if it doesn’t find results it just ignores your search terms and throws whatever shit it wants at you.

      Oh my god, I feel this so much… Also, I think that recently got even worse, as I recently found myself switching between DDG/Google and finding both extremely bad for my query

        Yes!

        It think it got suddenly so much worse recently. Glad to see I’m not alone, something must’ve e changed.
