Edit:

The poll stopped me in my tracks but it's actually even worse.

It should not take this long to get to imdb

Edit2: didn't even realize it thinks I'll "love it" based on things I look up. I don't think I'd like it.

Edit³: IMDb was the example I used without thinking. I'm aware that there's a link to it in the top card. It's the other web results that I don't already know about that I'd like to see. I now know there's a hidden "web" tab. There's also https://www.google.com/search?udm=14&q=example` but it's still mildly infuriating that you have to know about these things to get the basic results we expected for years.

Use a better search engine.

Those of you who "can't live without google", need to get a grip.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

I use DDG most of the time but it sometimes struggles searching and finding in German.

Those of you who "can't live without google"

Not something I have ever stated. And I actually did change the default Firefox search engine to DDG.

Android is the bigger hurdle but maybe the USA can surprise me and help out with that.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

Are those the Results of the Search of the Rise of the Return of the Planet of the Apes?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

You used Google

What did you expect?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

I knew this would come up. At least I'm on Firefox with UBO.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I've been working on a stylus theme for all the sites I use including duckduckgo and startpage that cuts out any and all bullshit like this

Lmk if you want a copy of it, some of the sites work on mobile too if you're using a browser that supports extensions (Firefox)

It's on github.com/flashgnash/material-monokai if you want to have a look. It's a bit rough around the edges and I've yet to find a way to properly source control it as stylus doesn't seem to save it to a file anywhere

I at some point intend to split out the theme and the anti annoyance CSS into two different themes as the theme makes some pretty drastic changes

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

I havent used google as my search engine for a year now, I use duckduckgo instead, and it has been very few times where I have longed for (old) google.

Getting results without scrolling? That day is today.

Totally worth the subscription

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

I was a bit skeptical about paying for search, but after trying out the free plan, I subbed and later upgraded to the family plan. No regrets.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Seeing only (edit..) two to three // results per scroll is way too cramped.

I miss the early 2000s when you'd get like 15 or 20 search results a page on a 1280 monitor because hosts weren't BLIND.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

The IMDb is there at the top. Just Under the white YouTube box. It tells the rating. But if you click it goes to the IMDb page for it

[–] [email protected] 17 points 3 months ago (1 children)

To be fair. All the information for the movie is right there at the top. If you wanted just info about the movie.

The poll though... Ya... That's kinda crazy.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago (2 children)

You'd think that if you knew the answer to the poll question, you wouldn't have Googled the title of the movie. I just don't understand the thought process that led to this happening.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

If you’ve seen a movie you wouldn’t search for it?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 months ago

Not really, unless I wanted to know more about a specific part of it, like an explanation for a scene or the screen writer or wherever, and then I'd Google with keywords specific for that, not just the movie name. If I'm just searching a movie name it would probably be too know whether stuff Google throws up on top of their results, to be fair to them.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

This is why I use a search proxy. Still get Google results but with all the crap stripped away. Plus I can write custom search options so if I go ! imdb rise of the planet of the apes it will do the search and just take me to the first result

I have Whoogle running in a docker container

Man, I hate people like you, because I am constantly reminded of how I really need to get round to checking out Searx, but I never get round to it.

(I am joking, because the only person who is putting pressure on me about this is me, and that's because finding time to do this is something I want to do. Thank you for reminding me, even if I will keep procrastinating)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

NGL, it's a pain in the ass to get it done the first time.

Docker -> Cloudflare is a lot of learning if you don't already have the skillset.

And it does have issues on locale based searches, when meta searches do geo lookups, you end up on partner nodes.
