Repent ye sinner and post three socially awkward socially awesome penguins, NOT one thing other thing penguin and ye shall be redeemed!

Are we talking penguins that represent different linux distros? Because most sure match "socially awkward" and awesome

Ooh, do we have another Jesus situation going on here? I'll hop on on this.

We talking sudo rm-rf /* sudoku here or the kind that you'd find in the newspaper?

That sounds like a command that could work, sudo KUUUUUUUUUU, the more Us the slower it details the important files being deleted, without allowing you to cancel the command

Aliexpress search is just the worst in that regard. "Hey I want to buy microchip X123457" - "Sure, here are some other totally different chips and a few iPhone cases for you".

Without site:aliexpress.com and search engines I would never find anything on there.

38

Not to mention that it changes the actual results if you decide to use any of its shitty filters or even order by price. Like, if your search result had 4 pages and you order by price, suddenly it's now 2 pages. My bet is shady assholery to fuck with sellers that aren't paying enough, much like Amazon

The category filters of electronics distributors used to be good (some still are). But then they started letting business people categorize the products, and now finding stuff without having a part number is basically a lottery.

22

hell, even with a part number, you still have to sort through a bunch of irrelevant stuff. I swear they must just "select all" when assigning tags to phone cases and stuff.

Go to Google and search the site from orbit.

First few results are keyword sponsor ads from the same site taking you to their front page instead of what you searched for.

eBay really has one of the best search engines around, IMO.

Once you know how to use parenthesis, quotes, and minus, you can build very precise queries.

I don't get the downvotes. You expressed that it differs from the usual meme formula but it's very obvious that you aren't serious. And it's kinda funny reading the text whilst imagining those bullshit emojis. (At least I hope that the emojis weren't serious)

yeah this kind of sarcastic post was a pretty common trope back in the day on r/copypasta, so I wanted to bring some of that back

Semi-related: how do you exclude a domain from a single search without blocking it from all results in settings? Aka the thing- and -site:[domain url] used to do??

I don't think I've ever added the ability to filter via the text field on any search system I've built. Normally there's checkboxes and categories though

2

Which are often lacking. If I want to search for everything except brand X, I have to check the box for every other brand, which is a hassle. If I'm looking for "pirate costume" and I don't want anything related to One Piece, there's no checkboxes, or anything, to help me.

You should really implement the basics, "quotes" for exact match and *star as wildcard

I wonder how many people even know that the hyphen works on google.

Not even the Google search team. You can no longer negate search terms in Google or Bing or DuckDuckGo. Any suggestions for a better search engine?

16

I've been using Kagi for 2 months and swear by it. It might feel silly paying for a search engine, but I'm now the customer instead of the product, and I can customize my searches the way I want.

That’s what happens when stuff gets made down for the dumbest conceivable user.

What are you talking about? I JUST did that on Google a few hours ago and it worked fine

You reached the end
