@chrisisgr8 @sjolsen wait you can't? I've done it pretty recently and it was fine?

@solonovamax @chrisisgr8 it's hit-and-miss. i'm sure it's an a/b testing thing but i have definitely run into the "oh it's just ignoring negation now" thing before. of course proper boolean search hasn't worked for a very long time

@sjolsen @chrisisgr8 did you do -TERM or -"TERM"? iirc I used the second one, so it might be the search engine doing smth funny with it bc it's not in quotes (bruh)

one thing I did notice though is ddg doesn't support grouping, eg. "TERM 1" ("TERM 2" OR "TERM 3")

never forgor
