Don’t think Bing has been good for that for some years no?

I prefer qwant. Based in France. EU privacy law.

Works great for me. LOL, tried DuckDuckGo today for giggles, no joy. Even with safe search off, same exact results.

[–] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 11 months ago (1 children)

DDG does just as good!

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Failed for me, even with Safe Search off. Same results.

[–] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 11 months ago
