Two horizontally stitched screenshots comparing a search for “Reavers GIF” on DuckDuckGo and Google in Safari iOS (private tabs). DDG presented zero Firefly/Serenity relevant results while Google found them exclusively.

Hopefully a privacy-focused yet fast instance for US West Coast cheapskates who probably should pony up for Kagi, buttttttttttt

OP wanted gifs with reavers from firefly, but got a bunch of "reverse" gifs instead, so to OP DDG is half dead and worth nothing.

Not the first time I’ve seen DDG whiff an easy query

I mean, it's not unreasonable for the search engine to assume OP just didn't know how to spell "reverse" or mistyped it...statistically that's probably way more likely.

Annoying, yes...but being specific in search queries is always a good idea, most people just tend to be super vague in their search queries.
