You can use Ecosia or DuckDuckGo as well.


Google and duckduckgo searches returned the same for me (as they always do) - NADA

Ecosia return little of relevance, except this:



I'll check it out this afternoon.

Thanks

Given they are independent and don't even share the same algorithm wouldn't that render your "Google only shows me what I want to see" point invalid?

In fact, DuckDuckGo doesn't even store information on your past searches.

Search results for different search engines might return identical results. It depends what what I searched for.

That's not what I said though is it - you accused Google of perpetuating an echo chamber when in reality those are the best result for the search as proven by your own independent test.

Not going to argue the point though any further though. Hopefully the results you have received are enlightening.

"NADA" means nothing. I literally got no result from my Google and DuckDuckGo search, so you're wrong, my results were not the best result from my "own independent test".

So, I go back to my previous post - the results do depend on the search I did.

That's not what I said again and you are missing the point - the actual search is irrelevant.

The fact they both returned nothing using different algorithms and different personalisations (including none) indicates your initial dismissal of Google as a self-reinforcing echo chamber was harsh.

I'll leave it there - you should use whatever search engine you feel comfortable with.

This was my exact search including quote marks:

"Western science" "peer reviewed" "Indian woo-woo"

Now, do you still insist my search was irrelevant?
