After ditching Google, I found a way to get the one Search feature I’ve been missing
I've told readers on more than one occasion that I ditched Google Search. It started with the iPhone, where I set DuckDuckGo as my default search engine years ago. After beta testing the Google Search alternative, I took the plunge for my desktop browsers and switched away from Google there, too. Now that I also have ChatGPT Search, I've got nearly all my bases covered.
But the more I used alternatives, the more I realized there was one key Google Search feature I started missing—a key feature I had taken for granted all these years. That's the business information that Google Search displays prominently at the top of relevant searches, including store hours. It turns out that's the kind of information I really need in my search experience.
Still, I didn't go back to Google Search as my main search engine. Instead, I've started relying on a different Google product that I actually still enjoy using. I'm talking about Google Maps, which displays business information for any company you might need. Google Maps shows the opening and closing times for stores, restaurants, and businesses I might consider visiting.
