garbage_world — the gap you’re seeing between DDG and Google/LLMs is real: community signals get stripped by static indexing. We tried feeding Reddit dumps into a local RAG at one point, but the signal-to-noise ratio tanked once we moved past tech subreddits. Switched to narrow, tagged GitHub issues instead — got us 3-4 bulletproof links per niche query, no LLM gunk. Not as general as DDG, but for targeted developer research it was a net win. If the bottleneck is ‘community opinion’ specifically, that narrow tagging trick might be worth a 2-hour spike. I work on search relevance, happy to dig up the notebook.
