Welcome to /c/SoftwareGore!


This is a community where you can poke fun at nasty software. This community is your go-to destination to look at the most cringe-worthy and facepalm-inducing moments of software gone wrong. Whether it's a user interface that defies all logic, a crash that leaves you in disbelief, silly bugs or glitches that make you go crazy, or an error message that feels like it was written by an unpaid intern, this is the place to see them all!

Remember to read the rules before you make a post or comment!

This search should obviously return the official Docker Hub Redis image, https://hub.docker.com/_/redis, but it's just a bunch of blogs.

On DuckDuckGo the first result is the Docker Hub image, which is what everyone would want.

your taking your human level domain specific knowledge of a specific site structure - and generalizing it to a search engine. How is the search engine going to know the best result to give you?

If a search is for docker NAME image so google shows users

  • A - blog talking about NAME image from Docker.com taking users step by step
  • B - direct link to the hub.docker.com for IMAGE with nothing else, but the download page

Which result is going to get more terminal, and high quality clicks from searchers?

Realizing that many of the people who are using docker daily are either going to already go to the hub directly, or do site:hub.docker.com in some quick search bar

The population of searchers who find the A result more beneficial is probably higher then the B result, most people prefer step by step instructions and some hand holding when searching. The pros who have a groove and rythem, I suspect, have more direct ways to get what they want.

While google can improve, i'm not seeing this as gore, the relevant result this user wanted was the 5th link, and the first 2 links both got them there as well.
