If anyone would be kind I would be interested in:
- How do I add additional dictionaries to KATE? For some reason, it only has Hungarian despite my Linux installation being in English.
- Any usable search engine left out there?
It’s paid and US-based, but Kagi has been serving me very well!
+1 for kagi, personally. Ive been using them for nearly 3 years and have never had a single complaint, and i literally complain about everything. Well…their maps requiring webgl is annoying…but at the same time its not loaded with nonsensical markers to the point of being unreadable.
I haven’t used kagi before, is there a way to disable the AI assistant? I understand I don’t have to use it, but I’d rather it not be on my screen at all.
Yes, there is. You can also force it for a single search by adding a “?” at the end of your query.
Kate is a very common name. maybe it’s being disregarded. I don’t believe those are sponsored results.
It’s cuz DDG uses Bing search services, and since Bing is a M$ product, this suggestion would make sense
The irony.
Edit: ddg(while on private search) also have two ads for spellchecker, then only the actual site when you scroll down a bit. Still in first page though.
Ecosia also a few item below, and startpage are same as ddg.
DuckDuckGo slightly alters your search results based on your reginon and so I couldn’t reproduce this. Try advanced syntax with queries like
+kate spellcheckeror even"kate" spellchecker. Failing that, add terms you don’t want to see (-ai,-"quillbot").heh - you’ll actually get more relevant results from google on this one
I’m not promoting DDG, I don’t use it either, just saying that they do provide a no ai version (currently at least)
Also note that no LLM doesn’t mean no “promoted” listings
The post is about the search results themselves. It is more a matter of Bing SEO.
huh, i knew they used bing under the hood but for some reason it didn’t occur to me that the promotions and ads would bleed through.
