Did it used to be better? I rarely if ever used it before Google’s enshittification, but now I’m just happy to find streaming services whatever I need.
No, I’ve been using it for about 4 years or more, I think, and the search is stably kind of okay. Some time ago Google used to work when ddg failed, but…
Try DuckDuckGo - I believe its selling point is that it is not as bad as Bing.:-)
It’s Bing without tracking. And the things like quotation marks still work. However, baseline search using it has still gone to shit.

It did, but Bing hiked their prices so it got shitty.
Oh, “it” meaning Bing then, not DDG. Although I thought Bing had always been free… shows what I “know”!:-P
DDG uses Bing on the backend, and they have to pay for each query, so Bing affects DDG
Oh damn, thanks for the explanation! 😀
