But a lot of people fed up with Google and will be glad to try something different.
It's like when Apple came and eat 15-20% of market of notebooks.
Dominance of Microsoft still not ended.
Actually I suspect that Yandex search is better - I like how they preview answers for technical questions. Picture search - seems that Google is the worst.
Maybe it's time to start search different topics in different engines.
Hm. Actually AI could help to implement such functionality
I had to use DuckDuckGo to locate some mailing list threads (about an apache jira issue) which were clearly on Google at least a few years ago.
So "hdfs forward seek" in Google returns nothing, but DDG does.
If Google isn't repurposing all its search compute to something else secret, I can't explain why it suddenly got all dumb and forgetful of the 2015s internet.
