I don't want Ai but want some deterministic answers. For example "12+20" should return 32, I don't need paragraphs explaining. What is the hex color code for red? FF0000. What is - 40 degrees c in f? This one is easy as it's - 40.
I don't want paragraphs explaining this stuff. I don't want it telling me how much of a math genius I am. Just give me the answer.
Things that have multiple answers like "what are good Scifi books" or "how do I write fizz buzz in c" send me to other sites.
I'm not sure if you are aware, but "12+20," "color picker red," and "what is -40 degrees c in f" already give you the answers you want in DuckDuckGo without needing to click on a search result.
Problem is that a casual search is already impossible because the internet is already an AI wasteland. There is mostly Reddit, Wikipedia and forums left to look for real answers. Everything else is already pages after pages of AI slob. I'm not gonna wade through this. So it's "reddit best scifi books" or I just get the AI result and take it to Wikipedia.
