In the early days of Google, back while it was still beta, I remember having to go to my backup search engine—remember Altavista? :)—for queries where I just needed a boatload of sites, or where I had a complex boolean thing, or where I needed to search for a whole phrase. Of course, back in the 90s Google knocked out my reasons to backoff to Altavista, one by one, adding boolean queries, and phrases, and of course adding a boondle of data. So I was eventually able to stop using Altavista. For the last few months, DDG is my primary and I love it. I still use Google for: * a few queries that DDG can't find anything for * to find out what other people will see when they "google it" * YouTube and maps. YouTube will be hard to ditch because that's where the content is, although I suspect I can wean from maps if I actually try.
