It's impressive how duckduckgo manages to be so much better than bing despite being a frontend for bing

At least what you are looking for, is on the first page. With Google you get half a page of ads not relevant to your search, and two pages of SEO garbage, before you get to a relevant search.

If you know you want Logitech software, why not go directly to the Logitech site and search there?

I typed the URL that was literally printed in the packaging of a [new] Logitech mouse, and the page didn't exist! Like, how?!‽

Sometimes brand websites are done well and you find what you're looking for within a few clicks, but more often than that, the website will be a horrendous experience.

Google search results used to usually bring up the direct link to the download page on that brand's website. Pretty much as the first search result.

To be fair, that also was a time where brand websites were really bad.

That's... what they're looking for.

SearXNG is also amazing. The only reason I don't use it more is because it doesn't have an integration into the URL bar in Firefox.

Can't you add it manually?

I don't get malware and AI on firefox, but uBlock count's continually up. I know this behavior only from trash dump sites.

The only thing bing is good for is watching porn and I will stand by that opinion.

Next time just go directly to the domain. You don't need to rely on a search engine for all web navigation, you know.

[-] bitfucker@programming.dev 10 points 2 months ago

Sometimes you just can't guess the domain name of a company you know. Also, it doesn't help that most companies website are fucking nightmare to navigate so having the relevant page on the first click is nice too

using a searchengine helps avoid domain squatting phishing. this is why I like domain bar as a search engine. if it's new I search it, if it's a place I've been to before it autocompletes the url.

I've been using my own searxng instance for a few months now and my god I'm never going back.
