Google’s search results are absolute garbage lately. It pushes the most advert-heavy spam sites first.

DuckDuckGo has more reliably been giving me the technical documentation I was looking for in the past year.

If I recall correctly, DuckDuckGo uses Bing's search database (not search itself, just the database).

They say that's a myth, that they have their own search engine and database.

They literally state this themselves, it's not a myth.
