I'm finding DDG results very inconsistent as of late.
I was trying to find an old podcast about the Stanford jail experiment. Couldn't remember it was Stanford so my prompt was: radiolab jail experiment
I got a whole page of a Netflix jail experiment show. The entire page were links to Netflix or reviews or news about the Netflix show. Not a single mention of Stanford or radiolab at all
Switched my prompt to: "radiolab" jail experiment And immediately got what I was looking for.
Gotta say, not impressed with the results as off late
Yeah, DDG seems to have a heavy skew toward newer content. I've found myself using a lot of
"term"
because it's trying to find something new when I'm looking for something old.I still much prefer it to Google, but it could be a lot better.
