And I love that I can do !mcwiki diamond to search the minecraft wiki for “diamonds” I ended up switching because Google changed their image search design that was just so much more difficult to browse
minus-squarescutiger@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·1 year agoMy problem with ddg is that I can’t refine my search by excluding keywords, only by adding more. For example, it’s frustrating if I’m looking to buy a product locally and half the page is Amazon results.

minus-squarescutiger@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·1 year agoIt is not. It works fine for google, but not for DDG.
