doesn't seem to be working for me this morning ... Gives "Sorry, we ran into an error displaying these results".

Can't help thinking it has something to do with them too getting into AI shenanigans ... 😬🤦‍♂️

Please just give me "the web" 🙏

Il y a un truc que je comprends pas sur
Quand on cherche un terme qui est sur wikipedia, il y a l'encart avec le début de l'article wikipedia.
Mais souvent c'est complètement farfelu...
Comme quand on cherche "paquerette" par exemple

🇳🇱 Ook zoekmachine DuckDuckGo heeft nu AI standaard aan staan. Om het uit te schakelen klik je op de zoekresultatenpagina op de twee "tennisrackets" aan de rechterkant. Vervolgens kies je in het menuutje 'AI-functies > Beheren' en daar kun je alles uitzetten.

🇬🇧 DuckDuckGo has turned on AI as a standard setting. To turn it off, click on the two 'tennis rackets' on the search results page, on the right side. Then click on 'AI functions > Manage' to turn everything off.

Is the butcher of Tehran dead or not dead?

OFC, I checked a host of sources, including European. All state the same so far.

Try "heli crash Raisi" and --all the same in several languages:

"hard landing" and "search."

has SOME good reporting and is definitely one of the most interested publications in the matter.
A death of a prominent politician can not be hidden all too long, just the circumstances be "re-interpreted."

Raisi is not at the very top of my Wanted List, but the world would...

Someone actually built a Chrome extension to "Hide annoying Google AI Overviews". LOL. Right now it only has 2,000 users, but I wouldn't be surprised if it reaches millions in a few months when SGE (Search Generative Experience) will be rolled out globally. https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/hide-google-ai-overviews/neibhohkbmfjninidnaoacabkjonbahn Duckduckgo is also releasing similar tech using AI .

@nixCraft I tried to replace with for a few months, but I was missing interesting links, so I was using more and more the !g to switch to Google Search.

Finally, I switched to a version version of Google Search without any ads, JavaScript, AMP links, cookies, IP address tracking or Overviews.

If you're still using Google (try DuckDuckGo instead?) for some reason and want REAL search results, make sure to use that More dropdown and the Web option/feature this article mentions at the end, the one I joked about yesterday. Here's a little longer piece about all Google's changes, etc.

Pro-tip - Do not use DuckDuckGo e-mails with Patreon.

Tuta seems to work. Good thing too. I am now (finally) supporting my local Fediverse instance running Sharkey.

Screenshot shows I will be supporting 45 bucks once a month (every month).

Today, I learned you can exclude a domain from DuckDuckGo search results by using:

Your search -site: Domain to exclude

For example:

Anime -site:youtube.com

Not sure if it's just me, but there is something quite wrong with this morning!
Results don't seem to be showing up for even the most basic queries.

Ok -- I am really curious about this one!

I searched for: david sedaris blood work

because I wanted to see if the piece was online anywhere. The result I got on both my phone's Firefox Focus and my work laptop's Firefox says "not many results contain test, search for david sedaris blood 'test'?"

but the word "test" is not anywhere in my query.

Searching for: lab blood work

does not get me this. Nor do other things I've tried.

I know that I am not the first to bring this up, but is getting more useless by the day. I really try hard to not support fascist billionaires where I can, but the % of times I get useless responses from DDG and have to use Google is now close to 80%.

Feature suggestion for or other engines: let me downvote results.

There is just so fucking much utter garbage, and the people pushing it have (apparently) effective SEO. Let me click a button saying "never allow this domain in my search results ever again."

Hello everyone!

I use Xubuntu and try to go the way as much as possible :duckduckgo: :gimp: :firefox: :xubuntu: :fdroid: :nextcloud:

I've been using Diaspora and the Friendica for a while—now decided to give Mastodon a go!

Also trying to get my friends to join the (though that's a slow process 😕).
