Thanks, Tom! I'm still left wondering how I can replicate the time filter provided by google's "search tools". I think that may be the _only_ thing that keeps bringing me back to google. Marcus G. Daniels wrote at 08/30/2013 11:22 AM:> On 8/30/13 9:25 AM, glen wrote:
When you care, just use Google, but hide it behind Tor. Fire up tor on system boot, and wrap relevant network programs with torsocks. It will be somewhat slower, but not terrible. It's all standard installs for Fedora, I imagine for gentoo or Debian too. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Testcase_torsocks
That's good advice, for anything, not just google. But the point is to not use google at all, in response to their evil-doings. (Yes, I fail because I'm still using Drive... it's just too damn convenient... and I'm having some trouble recovering from Calendar, too... but I'm trying to use other services.) Ideally, the more we use ddg, the better it'll get, right? I just need some way to parse the page, check for the age of the info (perhaps with a call to netcraft.com or archive.org?), then re-sort the results. -- -- ⇒⇐ glen e. p. ropella Somehow must reflect the truth we feel
