This search should obviously return the official Docker Hub Redis image, https://hub.docker.com/_/redis, but it's just a bunch of blogs.
On DuckDuckGo the first result is the Docker Hub image, which is what everyone would want.

This is a community where you can poke fun at nasty software. This community is your go-to destination to look at the most cringe-worthy and facepalm-inducing moments of software gone wrong. Whether it's a user interface that defies all logic, a crash that leaves you in disbelief, silly bugs or glitches that make you go crazy, or an error message that feels like it was written by an unpaid intern, this is the place to see them all!

MODERATORS
The results you got make perfect sense, if you knew exactly what you wanted, why were you using a search engine to begin with? If you wanted the docker redis image, why didn't you just go to it directly instead of searching for it? Do you put your home address into a GPS and follow it turn by turn, or do you just go home?
Is searching for a specific object really such a weird thing? Op is clearly asking for a file, but the search engine is overoptimized for blog posts
It's optimized for what algorithms tell it will be the best response, no different than any other one. If you want keyword search only, don't use Google. If you don't want to be datamined, don't use Google. If you want a docker image, search for it on Docker hub, not a search engine.
That doesn't make any sense, wanted to find the image, don't know the link by heart.
Then you need to be more specific with your search, while I don't use Google because I don't like being data mined, I just tried "download docker redis image" and that page with everything was the first result.
When I tried exactly what you put in, on DDG, that image was the first thing that showed.
If you've vague, it's going to rank shit based on a ton of things that make it believe one is more popular than another. That's the literal job of a search engine.
(Typically) when people want a docker image, they go to docker hub, not to search engines. If you'd gone to docker hub one word on the search box (redis) would have given you the image.
Or since we're talking docker, and you knew what you wanted to install a simple "docker pull redis" would have taken care of it.
