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

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

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?

Do what now!?! I can’t use standard search operators on google anymore?

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

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.

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