This search should obviously return the official Docker Hub Redis image, https://hub.docker.com/_/redis, but it’s just a bunch of blogs.
On DuckDuckGo the first result is the Docker Hub image, which is what everyone would want.
Google definitely has its moments of returning crap results, but you chose a terrible example.
Results from both docker and redis, on topic for exactly what you asked for.
Why even use Google at all, when you could search docker hub If that’s what you knew you wanted.
You asked for docker redis image, received docker.com talking about redis, and redis.io talking about docker
Idk that seems pretty on the point to me
Yeah, I don’t see the problem here. Those are the pages with the download links (and also instructions to use them, for folks who need it)
What did you want, a direct download link to a file? An FTP site?
You literally got what you asked for. There are plenty of examples of Google search sucking, this is you just being pissy because there’s instructions on a download page.
This search should obviously return the official Docker Hub Redis image, https://hub.docker.com/_/redis,
That’s what they wanted and it’s the first result in seemingly every other search engine.
With such a query the first expected result would be https://hub.docker.com/_/redis, and then blog posts if really that’s what you want.
On my device I cannot find a link to dockerhub at all with the same query.

For anyone wondering, here’s that same query in DDG (zoomed out to show same amount of results)
This is definitely what I’d want if I search for this
I agree with OP here, these results are not great.
OP searched for the redis docker image, not a tutorial on how to use it, not a tutorial on why redis should be run in docker, and did not search for redis docker docs. While these are relevant, they should be further down, not the top result. DDG gets this right, and I’m pretty sure other search engines do too.
For a total newbie, these results are probably OK, but for a technical person who knows what they want literally as they type it, Google’s results are (excuse my french) simply shit. DDG is miles better at handling this stuff, and they don’t need your personal data to do it well either.
Edit: Just went and searched “redis docker image” in a private tab on Google, and the docker hub image for Redis is not even shown on the first page of results
man SEO really has managed to break search. There’s so many random blogs that just have pretty much just your search terms in the title and rarely have anything else of use.
There’s usually just AI-generated meandering with no actual information in it.

It’s the 5th result for me.
Don’t really see the “gore” … those are all relevant results.
The “gore” is “Google bad.” Not really much else to it.
On kagi, the first result is also the docker hub link. This example is not actually that bad though, the first 2 results at least still relevant (from docker and redis domains) instead of some random blogspam (3rd result).
Funny I unintentionally searched kagi with the keywords in the wrong order - and got it in the first result
It’s the second result for me.
Kagi is so good
I searched for help on a game I was playing the other day and got 300 results, all the same forum post. Like, the exact same post 300 times
Have to say I’m a bit surprised by all the replies that are completely fine with all the results being SEO ridden blogs instead of something useful, for example have you tried searching for a recipe in the last year, 1000 word blog and then the recipe as an extra.
The results you’ve highlighted aren’t “all the results”, they’re the ones you’ve screenshotted to make your point.
One is from dockers website, the other is official redis docs, the results aren’t that bad.
There is an issue with Google’s search these days, this post is just not a great example.
The top two results you’ve posted here aren’t even SEO blogs, they’re official sources. Recipe sites have been bullshit since long, long, long before the past year and the current trend of SEO enshittification. This argument doesn’t hold water.
I think most people are just used to Google, I used to be several years ago before moving to DDG.
Now I find Google is way too… “tutorially” and “bloggy” with results, and actually slows down my workflow a lot when I’m looking for a specific thing immediately - usually a bit of scrolling to get what I’m looking for.
DDG (for my use case as a casual search engine, and something to search docs for work) gets you to whatever you want with a much, much shorter and concise query, and pretty much always gets it right each time as the first result
Isn’t duckduckgo just bing with disabled tracking?
cough-bing is actually alright, sorry-cough

I was searching how to cast the screen on an Android phone through USB yesterday, and I had to go through pages of “free” Play Store apps and their shitty tutorials, some of which I downloaded, (one had 50 million downloads) two of which were identical skins of each other that wanted payment information and charged $20 a month after a week long trial, to eventually find out it’s a default included option on any Samsung phone and can be found in some settings. Google search has completely gone to shit.
If you’re still looking for a solution, I highly recommend “scrcpy” https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy

I had moved to DDG a few years ago and enjoyed it until around the middle of this year when I started getting less and less relevant results.
Started using (and yes, paying for) Kagi 3 or so months ago and it’s amazing going back to searches that actually work again. I don’t know how well I’d handle moving back to an ad supported search provider.
