I use DDG but i wish it filtered out sites that are clearly 100% AI generated

    Problem with all SEO is AI is really good at grabbing hold of the search crawlers and creating articles on questions whether it answers the question or not. I sometimes search by date published so older non ai articls have a chance. Perhaps they could increase the wighting based on age.

    I wish it didn't append completely irrelevant "Apple Maps" results for places thousands of miles way, to everything I search for.

    I would imagine ddg can't licence Google maps. I'm surprised they don't use bing maps (if that's still a thing)

    They used to use Openstreetmap, which was very accurate where I lived, and also seemed to be reasonably good at knowing when something needed a map (like a business or location you were trying to find) and when it didn't need a map (like any other normal search).
