Codename: Jackass Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 I don't think I've ever used quotes or plus/minus in a search and have it give me any meaningful change to the results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use DuckDuckGo 90% of the time. I used to curse the fact that it wasn’t as modern as the other search engines, but lately it actually gives me better results bc it’s more oldschool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read some stuff about the developers at DDG that gave me a sour feeling but now I can't recall what they were and I'm too entrenched in habit to change now.
