Have the search results on Brave Search improved? I tried it a few months after they launched it and found the results terrible

I really need to try this out at some point. Just been too lazy to give it a shot

The dictionary bang is 100% something I'll be using quite often moving forward

I hear you, but sometimes when I'm working I want 2 things when trying to solve a problem quickly; 1. Accurate results, and 2. Speed and performance.

So while I do use SP on occasion, I find that sometimes for me it can take a while to load the results and just generally get a bit laggy. This can really start to annoy me over the course of a day, it's those moments when I just bite the bullet and go to Google directly if DuckDuckGo isn't giving me what I need

Its amazing, I work in the IT industry, I love exploring different areas of tech, but the concept of bangs in a search engine has never come up haha. I've seen not ever really used them in a terminal when forgetting to run a command as sudo

 

So til that if you use DuckDuckGo search engine, and you're not happy with the result and want to run the previous search through Google, instead of copying your search, then heading to Google, then pasting your previous search, you can just add !g to front of your search in DuckDuckGo and that will auto direct you to Google and run that search for you!

For example: !g search term for Google
