Why YSK: Searching topcs on reddit was simple matter of entering desired term and prepending or appending keyword reddit. With lemmy’s decentralised structure finding particular topic without knowing to which, or rather if even there is community dealing with such topic(s) can be a headache inducing hurdle. So appending simple:
site: lemmy.*
site:lemmy.*
to Your google search feature can ease up search.
P.S.
to avoid certain domains You can use e.g.:
-site: beehaw
-site:beehaw
@edit: removed spaces thank You @[email protected]
YSK: This doesn’t work in DuckDuckGo because I just independently had the idea to try this a few days ago and returned no results. I didn’t think to try on Google. I believe DuckDuckGo is running on Microsoft Bing so it likely doesn’t work there either
On DuckDuckGo you can use:
!g site: lemmy.*to be redirected to an anonymous Google search
it’s not “an anonymous Google search”, just a regular Google search results page. they got rid of encrypted.google years ago.
Is there such thing as an anonymous Google search though?
startpage.com
You should use !s instead to search google anonymously.
