Google Search’s “udm=14” trick lets you kill AI search for good

@[email protected] · 7 months ago

I don’t know how you view google as “effective”, but ddg is very good

I end up using !g 95% of the time on ddg

DDG is shit.

Even as a pale shadow of its former self Google is head and shoulders above the competition, unfortunately.

I’m really interested in why you think this. What’s your qualifications for these?

@Hawke · 7 months ago

Effective search results.

Two recent examples:

searching for the open hours of a local shop, google gives it to me. DDG gives me other places far away and no hours listed in the results.
searching for a web cartoon involving praying mantises. Google gives me four different cartoons. DDG gives me two cartoon-style drawings of a praying mantis and a ton of photos of praying mantises.

The other way around though, when I was recently searching for the new nvidia linux beta drivers, DuckDuckGo gave me the official nvidia site as the first result. Google didn’t even have it on the first page.
