Long time DDG user. Barely use bangs at this point. Haven't switched back to Google in ages.
I don't really do much local searching, but it seems like that's an issue. When I do local searches I just quantify things "Best Thai food in <My Neighborhood>", but I live in area heavily traversed by food critics (I tend to avoid group reviews like Yelp, and Amazon which I tend to think of as easily gamed in favor of newspaper critics and Consumer Reports or America's Test Kitchen, an approach with its own pros and cons).
Most things seem fine although the other day I got a ton of porn when I did an image search for an artist I was discovering "Rico Nasty". Thank god for work from home!
As an aside, I find Google's search result interface extremely off putting at this point. I'm not exactly sure what it is? It seems like there's barely any results above the fold, it's much noisier with widgets everywhere, and why are the description strings only a sentence long at max?
I downloaded a new copy of Chrome (or maybe it was the one that popped up from Cypress tests or something and I errantly used it as main browser window), and yeagh.
It's annoying when search results throws everything at you: youtube videos, images, product carousels, etc. Probably they should add new section to search "text only" and ignore "rich" media results. Also related suggestions boxes after returning to search results gets old fast and are not useful at all. I need to get to next result in list, not start a new search.
