I'd argue all Q&A services devolve into madness when they get mainstream. Before Quora we had yahoo answer and before that surely something else. As soon as they get mainstream the quality of question and answer goes down. Those systems only work with well defined constraints either on the subject of the question or the validation of the expertise of the people answering. All of those platform just open the valve wit…

Alternatively, you could stop using Google and use Kagi ( https://kagi.com ), which offers the same feature. :)

Does it support IE6? (Google does, and it's a browser I enjoy using.)

Why would anyone support a deprecated browser?

I have yet to find any competitor which provides its own results and is even 50% as good as Google's results. Features are nice, but for a search engine results are everything.

Kagi is even better than Google in my opinion. I’m still thinking whether I want to pay a subscription for it but it’s tempting since the results are so good. M When I first switched from Google to DDG I found myself using g! all the time as I wasnt happy with the results, especially local such as finding a specific shop in my area etc. I dont recall using g! with Kagi, and when I was bored and compared the Kagi sear…

I've had the same experience. Maybe it's my developer bubble, but Kagi has better search results than Google for me.

With google you can search with type:pdf so that you filter in scientific papers. I'd also suggest that the phrase 'correct information' does suggest you already know what you believe you're looking for (otherwise how would you know what you're reading is incorrect?).

For me I'd just like to hear a story and any relevant details. But the news orgs usually take a small bit of information and the rest is their opinion and extrapolation without much evidence. You know because sometimes they will reach a "verdict" which is opposite what the judge and jury reach after days of reviewing all of the evidence. I've realized it's up to me to find all the info, and try my best to determine the truth, which sometimes is quite literally impossible.
