A comment on The Google Squeeze. Parent comment

I tried a Reddit search today. I do a few from time to time to gauge subreddit activity.

I know 80 to 90 percent of the results.

Google was useless. It is as if some subreddits, like one of mine, no longer exist.

Duck returned great results. And some new, unexpected results.

This kind of thing, along with hidden result links has forced me off Google search.

For fun, in my own head, they are Noogle now. NO Google.

Search Noogle for Nosults.

> Search Noogle for Nosults.

After searching both Google and Duck, I still don't know what "Nosults" is supposed to be.

I think it's a joke about "no results" smashed together

It is. Nothing more than a personal coined word.

The only link for "nosults" may well be this thread. Interesting index depth and speed test.

I coined that phrase just today.

Ah. OK. In that case, I'd still like to know for which query DDG was much better than Google, if you can share.
