Still plenty of mentions on DuckDuckGo: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=saidit&t=h_&ia=web
I have already been using DuckDuckGo for years now, but this just solidifies my stance against Google search even more. It not only tracks you, but the results it gives are censored to be less useful too. This will be good ammo the next time I find someone still using Google.

I switched to DDG long back and haven't looked back. Google is a pisspool. If I search for something I want search results, not answers, how hard is that to understand? If you search for something, first thing at the top of results is an 'unfurled' result. This is HORRIBLE because it is always taken out of context. Next comes the 'answers' kind of thing which is also the same thing - taking things out of context, and irrelevant. Somewhere in between are one or two search results. Also, God forbid your query resembles some kind of pop culture thing. then the entire page is only about that. Yes DDG also does that, but everytime I have seen it unfurl results only from Wikipedia and with the article having the exact same name as your query.
Example of the 'unfurled' results fooling a journalist. Some journalist said that an armoured electric vehicle used by Winnie the Pooh also called Xi Jinping did 0-100 in 1.9 s. Apparently the unfurled result 'helped' the nigga a lot.

I filled in the part you forgot because that really is all google offers at this point.

When I search google for 'Michelle Obama ugly' it returns fawning articles and blogs containing 'Michelle Obama beautiful/hot/sexy/gorgeous', lol

that's insane, considering she has never run for or has been president.
