For those who are still using google, this recently added search query strips all of the extras from Google search, leaving behind just the links!

What are you searching for that DDG is giving disappointing results?

Duck duck go is particularly bad at local searches and business data.

Back before Google gimped their own searches, Google was better at finding one-off things.

I've moved to SearXNG, which still makes my local searches suck, But the results are usually much better than DDG.
