Good grief, this is astonishing. The other day I tried tracking down the names for various avatar species in VRChat. Surely someone had a list curated... but bing, google, and ddg all let me down with ancient wikis or completely unrelated sites, no matter my quoting or alternate search terms (animals, avatars, creatures, etc.).

Very first hit on millionshort: https://www.vrcarena.com/

Edit: Though, I'm still trying to track down a more comprehensive list. That one's missing Nanachis, which are rather common these days.

That's also the first hit on DDG for avatar species in VRChat

I don't know what to say. Yesterday, for me, it was no where on the first few pages.

That's the second link on google for me for "avatar species in VRChat"

I don't know what to say. Yesterday, for me, it was no where on the first few pages.

fwiw, It's not on google's first few pages for me on that exact same search, so you aren't going crazy.

This thread does show up though. There are so few relevant results that I wouldn't be surprised if this thread alone is giving enough weight to vrcarena.com to already be rolling out to some people, hence the discrepancy in these comments.

Wow I didn't think Google went this far to personalize results...

The first thing I searched, it shows

Oops.. sorry about that!Engineers have been notified and are looking into the issue. If you see a captcha, be sure to fill it out and submit to continue your search

Edit: it looks like it doesn't support anything that is not in Latin letters at all.

Okay, this is crazy. This week I spent 5-10 minutes scrambling my brain to find this article [1], it was the first search result for "no more free sodas" (now, to be fair, it's now the first result for me on Google, too).

Thanks for bringing this onto my radar, I've added it to my pile of cool links!

Thanks, this is super cool! I just used it to discover new music(search "electronics music albums" and removed the top million hits)

Thanks, worked well for me and I found information I couldn’t find on ddg.

This needs to be front page.
