- trymas 11y agoYes, I do know about that but it still fails. E.g. I live in country `x` and set my region correctly. I search for `foobarbaz` which is some thing in my country. Though in country `y` there's also a thing called `foobarbaz` and apparently this thing in country `y` is either much more popular of that country is much bigger, so I can't find `foobarbaz` in my country, or I must look deeper into other pages. Google now works so good, that I do not need to scroll for 9 times out of 10 and almost never go to other pages, whereas with DDG probably 1/3 of local searches ended up in looking in other pages.
- AdamSC1 11y agoHi Trymas, Feel free to forward this case to me at adam@duckduckgo.com and I can log it internally. The region toggle has gotten pretty good but we understand there will be fringe cases that need to be looked into - and small cases like this getting fixed can help positively impact the entire system!
