Wow such an improvement over when, given an obvious typo in a query, Google would return Did you mean "…"? with results for the corrected query.

I now do all my Google searches with the "-AI" flag (when I need to use Google at all. Bing-based Duck Duck Go does fine for most things, and no sponsored results to wade through.)

yeah I just have that habit. -ai stopped working for a minute.

it's exhausting. I should make an effort to use duck duck go as the default.

I like it! Not as good as Google *used to be,* but works for 97% of stuff. I find myself switching back occasionally remembering how easy stuff was to find on Google and realizing how bad it is now actually?! One thing G is still better at is retail, but am in Canada and geo-features are better.
