This is what I got, Menopause or pregnant: What are the signs?

I'm guessing your search is returning a lot of BBC? Might be time to switch search engines.

Mine was just a lot of Shutterstock images of white women smiling, white women with black men, and then a mixed-race black woman. The link results were all criticisms about Google's search results having racial biases, etc.

Google is dogshit. I can't find most research articles easily anymore, I can't find most of the shit that I was looking for under well worded search queries anymore, and Google Scholar has been adulterated with sites trying to sell dick pills. Duckduckgo is also poo gas, as is Bing. I didn't even mention Yahoo, because it's on par with geocities at this point.

Agree - I’m now at a point where I’m having to cycle through 3 different search engines to get what I’m looking for but also because I don’t trust Google isn’t trying to bullshit me with their results.

Looking forward to seeing what Brave comes up with as I know they’re working on one.

I've done a ton of research on this as I hate google. Started using gigablast.com which works like the original google, though still has some limitations and 1 of about 5 searches don't come out right for some reason. But it is certainly better than google and I like it. Second choice for me is swisscows.com

Thank you, I'll look those up.

Bing is surprisingly good for porn searches.

And also surprisingly, Yahoo has a strong financial section.

Possibly, but I don't care about either of those things. I just want to research.

That's why I figure they exist though, they have their niches. Google I'm not so sure except people are just used to it. You calling it dog shit probably isn't fair to dog shit because dog shit is kinda useful sometimes.
