I don't use that, I just noticed a lot of people saying that they got better results using it. I use DuckDuckGo, for the most part, and in the past, when I've tried Google because DDG didn't give a good result, it was worse. I remember when "I'm feeling lucky" had a good hit rate. Not anymore. This will all be irrelevant when the AI platforms begin doing search. We'll write a paragraph, and then they'll 'understand' what we are looking for, and give us relevant results. At least until they start monetizing their results like Google. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
