I've been using DuckDuckGo for a few years now, and I never went back to Google. Maybe give it a try !

My understanding is that duckduckgo is just Bing without tracking, I also have used it for a few years to decent success but figure it's worth noting

I've been using bing at work and it's surprisingly good. It's got tracking and ads and crap but it's really more like Google was a few years ago than anything

Frankly I tend to agree. I started using it for the rewards, now that they nerfed that program I still use it since the search is better than Google, copilot intrusion aside

I use duck duck go but sometimes I just have to use google.

Use same search terms etc and can't get what I want.

You should try DDG's "bangs" then. They are shortcuts you can type to narrow your search or use another search engine from DDG's interface.

!gm Singapore will search for Singapore directly in Google Maps

!w Singapore will search for the word in Wikipedia

!g will search in Google, etc.

Ohh I love that, I always have to resort to google maps to search specific things now I will try that.

Thanks so much

Do you have history enabled on your browser?

Really curious what your last say 10 non-private searches were.

Asking as I’m constantly going back to Alphabet Adware Search (!g). If I just wanted the homepages of Fortune 500 companies I could use DDG exclusively, but I look for:

forum posts
image & gif results
Lemmy results

And much more I can’t think of right now. For all of the above, I end up banging out of DDG (by adding !g) for Google. At least until I get in the habit of using SearXNG.
