  You can also search Wikipedia directly.

    PSA for Firefox/fork users, click the button to the left of the search bar after clicking blank space in the search bar, you’ll get a list of choices besides just your primary selection. You can add more:

      Yeah, first part of any fresh Fox setup is changing the default search engine.

    Yup, using the bang !w anywhere within the search

    if anyone using ddg, you can do this by just adding !w for a direct Wikipedia search, or even !imdb for a direct imdb search without going to the respective sites first.

  I use duck duck go as well. I wish it wasn’t just anonymised Bing search. One of these days I’ll look into an open source independent search engine.

      That’s what I use, it’s still just using other search engines to get results though.

    I haven’t used Bing in a while but I alternate between Ecosia and DDG, supposedly Bing as their main provider. I find more and more differences between them nowadays so I do feel DuckDuckBot and Qwant partnership are doing their thing. I’m optimistic about both of them broadening their sources as they state in their websites.

    Qwant

      though it’s not free, I suggest Kagi. It’s only a few dollars a month. Then you can be sure you’re not the product.

  DDG also has a quick answer AI

    and its implementation is so massively superior to anything else i’ve seen that it makes me want to bang my head against the wall

    their AI just has a list of vetted sources which it relevant articles from and summarizes the text according to your query, so it actually fucking cites sources that you can easily verify and it’s unlikely to just hallucinate nonsense. It also has the ability to go “yeah idk man, try changing your query maybe” if it can’t find a relevant article to pull from.
    Oh and since it uses actual sources it can easily be corrected if errors are noticed :OOO

    Its does, but its less annoying and actually has an off switch

    source
  • MajesticElevator@lemmy.zip ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

    It does?? I was using Brave because it had AI

    (And also because so many websites are censored on DDG for some reason)

  I think the trick is to put the word “movie”
