This isn’t going to hurt Google’s antitrust cases at all… Noooo sir.

the thing is this is not monopoly and it much more like duopoly between Google and brave search. So, it is hard.

Brave search…? You’re joking right…?

moe90 OP ,
@moe90@feddit.nl avatar

it is bearable and no captcha for VPN users (unlike google search)

But it’s no where near the #2 spot. Brave search is incredibly niche.

Why is Brave allowed to index reddit and other engines aren’t? Just switched to them and am not interested in reddit search results.

OH, I misunderstood what you were saying. I thought you were saying search itself is a duopoly between Google and Brave Search.

You’re saying searching Reddit is a duopoly between Google and Brave Search.

That’s my bad… but yeah, the article is just wrong anyways, Kagi also has access still (presumably through their deal with Google to use Google’s search results as part of their result set). I wonder if Brave has a similar deal … or their crawlers just haven’t been blocked yet … or they paid off Reddit.

EDIT: Also, I will say because Brave search has such a small market share that’s probably not going to help Google’s case much.

Is google still a thing!?

ramble81 ,

You just sound stuck up when you say that. Like “is windows still a thing? I didn’t know because I use Linux. Don’t you?”

Of course Google is still a thing, by far it’s still the largest search engine in use on the planet, so most people won’t notice it. If anything, this hurts all the not-Google users. Can you imagine if different sites started signing exclusivity deals with different search engines?

point5a ,

The last time I used Google, I searched for timer app, the result was blue light filter! No timer in the first 6 pages! The result was always irrelevant.

Is one of the biggest companies on the planet still a thing!?

🤔

point5a ,

I prefer quality over quantity!

null ,

Neat. Not really relevant though.

…why is this the first comment on an 8 month old account? Weird

point5a ,

Time flies! It was like yesterday! 😅

It’s your mom’s default search engine so I use it from time to time

Just use ddg bangs if you use Duckduckgo and you can search reddit directly.


<span style="color:#323232;">!reddit search term
</span>

It still picks up latest posts related to reddit, it just searches reddit directly instead of searching Bing’s results. It’s that simple.

rebelsimile ,

yes. Also, !r is reddit also.

z3rOR0ne ,

Even better. Thanks, been a while since I’ve looked up specific ddg bangs.

msage ,

Fine by me - I don’t use or like any of them, AND they will make sure I won’t see them elsewhere? Jackpot

themurphy ,

Well, it only gives a bigger reason for other search engines to index the competition.

Kagi can still search Reddit content tho (blocked part of url because I have Kagi rewrite url to redirect to my private Redlib instance)

I think this is because they use some sources from Google and Brave?

not everyone want to pay though

Yeah, I know, Reddit is just being asshole for another time as we all know

Man reddit has a treasure trove of answers to shit though, pinterest though that is a must.

GustavoFring ,

I’m convinced that typo is on purpose.

null ,

What typo?

ad_on_is ,

I have the assumption that kagi’s results from reddit have gotten sparse lately. but maybe it’s just me

I had no idea this was a thing. Thats going straight on my self-host todo list.
