May I ask you what other search engines are you referring to?
- stephenr 10y agoPersonally, I use DDG. Others may use bing, my point was to buck the Kleenex-ation of Google. I don't Google things, or DDG things. I search for things
- markbnj 10y agoRight, agreed, "search engine" is what I should have said, although I suspect that even among developers Google search would be the heavy winner in terms of use.
- bobbytherobot 10y agoI use DDG on my non-work machines. Google is better at finding stuff for programming, particularly the random error messages.
- passivepinetree 10y agoI've tried to use DDG for programming but I've found that Google's efficiency is just too good to make DDG worthwhile. I guess I've decided to take the privacy hit in regards to developing activities.
- stephenr 10y agoWhat are up searching for that ddg doesn't work? I find myself usually knowing sort of where to look, and often using !bangs or the site: limiter
- mr_spothawk 10y agoyou can use DDG as a default search engine, and search in google when you want by adding the "g!" flag to your query. it will kick you over to a non(less?)-tracked version of Google. and you might find DDG is much better for devs. they have built in language guides and various other conveniences.
