A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

The best solution is DuckDuckGo. You can use DDG as your primary search engine and when it (or Bing, which is its backend) fails to find what you want, you can add “g!” to your search to look it up in Google.
What DDG needs to do is modify the G! switch to include “&udm=14”.
I love DDG, but if you want non-AI results, just use a different search, like !s (startpage, which uses Google)
If they can get the minus feature working it would be perfect. Like "-blah" should exclude "blah" but it doesn't do anything.
I know that "g!" works, but the correct way is "!g".
I also use !gm for Google maps and !w for Wikipedia quite a lot
FYI !m is also Google Maps.
What does "&udm=14” do?
It goes directly to the "web" tab of search results, which is way more likely to be what you wanted in the first place.
It's like the old school Google search.
No Gemini (Google's AI) results.
