J. Dan Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 Our search engine always sucked, so I always used google. I know all of the ways to limit searches to the musicplayer.com domain and filter results, etc. I've always been able to find what I was looking for until now. I don't know if the site transition has anything to do with it. Ok, stopping mid sentence. iPad locked up. Whatever. I guess it wasn't important, just wanted to update something.

Mark Schmieder Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 I've been using DuckDuckGo for over five years now, and get far more focused results with fewer ads. Sometimes I'll do a Google search if nothing comes up via DDG though.

Chris Link Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 I've been using DuckDuckGo for over five years now, and get far more focused results with fewer ads. Sometimes I'll do a Google search if nothing comes up via DDG though. I"ve been using DDG as well. If I read about some keyboard or speaker and used Google to search about it, I found myself getting ads from retailers. I also pay a couple of bucks a month for a fastmail email address. They don"t scan and direct marketing like yahoo or gmail. As they say, 'If you"re not paying for it, you"re not the customer, you are the product.'

Joe Muscara Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 I've been using DDG for years as well. I highly recommend it. It's my default search engine on all my regular browsers. If you're curious about them, they have info about how their search works vs. Google et al. Even if I didn't care about privacy and tracking, I do care about the "filter bubble" that Google imposes on search results. Quote "I'm so crazy, I don't know this is impossible!

The Real MC Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 DuckDuckGo is highly recommended and is also my default search engine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J. Dan Posted September 27, 2019 Author Share Posted September 27, 2019 I was mainly wondering if something changed with the site migration that would affect search engines in general.
