No my DuckDuckGo search was just weird I guess. Only links to Amazon and similar companies.
Ya my duckduckgo results have been pretty terrible recently. Like I'm thinking of switching.
I recommend using Yandex to search for pirated content. DuckDuckGo basically uses Bing as a primary source, and mainstream Western search engines tend to shove paid streaming services and shopping links down your throat.
Using a metasearch engine like SearXNG is what I recommend for a main use search engine. I also like 4get. There's also Marginalia for text heavy websites and Wiby for a curated search engine for content-first sites.
Thanks heaps for that. I saved your comment for future use. Ya I use yandex regularly, but not the other sites you mentioned.
I also recommend looking at the list of search engines and websites that SearXNG supports in the link I gave you. It helped me discover many search engines I wasn't aware of.
