This is ridiculous. It’s taken me a long time to switch to DuckDuckGo because when I get comfortable with something, it’s really difficult for me to switch, but if they’re going to totally change it (even if it appears to only be for certain search terms now), this is the last straw.

To make it worse, this is a re-search. The first time I searched the term, it asked me if I wanted an AI definition at the top of the page.

No, I want a fucking Wikipedia link. I realize it’s on the page, but come on.

This is the same search on DuckDuckGo:

  • Shurimal@kbin.social
    link
    fedilink
    arrow-up

    This seems to be one of the rare times these days that google actually does a pretty good job getting you the result you seek for without clutter and ads.

    Also, use bangs to search on a specific site. If I want to search for an article on Wikipedia, I just type in “w <my search term>”. d for DuckDuckGo, g for Google, b for Bing etc. I default to Brave primarily and DuckDuckGo secondarily.
