Google search results have been inferior for a lot of things for a long time now
Inferior to what? Past Google? That's not available anymore. Hate on Google what you want, the alternatives are worse.
I use duck duck go as default, and more than half of the time I have to go to Google to find what I'm looking for.
Yeah, Bing isn't very useful.
It's less sanitized which can be helpful under certain circumstances but for most searches that doesn't come up.
Also its interface is god-awful it's actually somehow worse than Google's image search, and that's pretty bad.
Yes, it is better for porn.
I have no idea what you're talking about.
What's porn, I've never heard of it. Sounds Italian.
Inferior to other search engines. I've had more luck finding things I want using ddg when I haven't been able to on Google. Maybe I've been lucky.
Contrariwise, I personally haven't found Bing to be any better.
my younger brother has bing by default and whenever i try to search anything on his computer half the time i can't find what i'm looking for
No I'm not sure about that I've never seen anything any better. Would you like to give some examples and don't say bing because bing is definitely not better.
Pretty much all the other search engines just use bing in the background and so basically there's no point using them.
Not an endorsement, because I've never used it, but kagi is an alternative which I believe has it's own index. It isn't free though
There is also searxng which is more of a meta search that will post your query to a bunch of search engines at once
I've heard of it but unless it was profoundly better I have very little interesting paying for a search engine.
