I don't understand how Google had better search algorithms 15 years ago than DDG has now. I try switching every year or so, but goddamn their search just sucks. It shits the bed if you give it a query that requires even mild parsing and grouping of terms. God help you if you're looking for information that isn't common knowledge or is a deep query into an API, SDK, or aspect of an engineering discipline.

You're probably fucked with google on all of those fronts these days as well since, you know, they're a pathetic excuse compared to what and how they offered 15 years ago as well.
They're definitely worse, especially for any news or history-based search where they bias the results to an extreme degree. No, I don't care about what some celebrity or propaganda site said about this news item, I care about an accurate historical record of events.
