What’s your opinion? Does google really “not work” anymore? Are there any better search engines? Why did the quality of search results go down? I honestly stumbled onto this question through this music video, what is ironic in it’s own way i feel…

    Google is almost impossible to use when I search for solutions to maths problems. The first few pages are dominated by those sites gaming Google’s algorithm and their articles usually don’t help.

      Yup. DDG is my go to. Every once in a while I have to use Google, but it’s rare.

      Also, buy the Wolfram Alpha app if you want math problems solved easily.

        Does anybody else find when using DDG for research that it’s waaay too aggressive about “correcting” your query to something more mundane?
