This is ridiculous. It’s taken me a long time to switch to DuckDuckGo because when I get comfortable with something, it’s really difficult for me to switch, but if they’re going to totally change it (even if it appears to only be for certain search terms now), this is the last straw.

To make it worse, this is a re-search. The first time I searched the term, it asked me if I wanted an AI definition at the top of the page.

No, I want a fucking Wikipedia link. I realize it’s on the page, but come on.

This is the same search on DuckDuckGo:

    Add “Wikipedia” to your search term, then.

    It’s worth noting that Wikipedia has recently gotten down-ranked in Google’s search results. It’s rare to be the first result anymore, so just add that to your search terms.

    Or, alternatively, just go to Wikipedia and search directly on there. Remove the middleman if you already know what your final destination is going to be.
