Google paid a whopping $26.3 billion in 2021 to be the default search engine everywhere

This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
And DuckDuckGo lacks basic stuff such as keyword exclusion. (It's my main search engine for the last few years after Startpage got bought, but lacking keyword exclusion sucks!)
you can -something , but it isn't full exclusion. It's generally been good enough for me. I agree the full fat version would be nice.
So far I haven't had any luck with -something "soft" exclusions either.
Yea I bailed after they nerfed exclusions and whatnot but not like the others are slam dunks
