I use ddg, have basically since it was released, what's wrong with bing?

Back when I tried both more extensively a few years ago, Google was a lot better giving me results relevant in Europe and Asia. Bing and duck duck go used to be very US only focused. Which made me go back to Google.

I don't know if or how much that's changed.

  • that's unfortunate, really. Is there no other options for those regions? I'm not suggesting yandex, but others exist, right?

    • This was all about ten years or so ago.

      I just gave Bing a quick try, and it seems to be a bit more useful (for Singapore) now than it used to be. I haven't tried all the other alternatives.

the fuzziness is too high (forget searching for specific error messages, prepend !g for that) and it doesn't have a 'verbatim' mode (on google search: tools -> verbatim) ..
