I have to say that Duck Duck Go feels a lot more like early Google than Google does now(it feels more like querying a database than asking a machine a question). I could see them taking lots of the 'pro' search traffic, especially with their bangs and the way they still just use Stack Overflow answers/Wikipedia articles for their preferred results instead of attempting to remix them.
- dualogy 9y agoDDG is my default because the majority of my searches are specifically coding-related (as in, type the name of api and class and function or some such) and fact-based stuff (wiki, scientific articles whatever). But more often than not, for the more fuzzier queries I get the most useless results and have to manually go over to Google
- H4CK3RM4N 9y agoAdd !g before the search and it redirects you. You can also use !bangs to find more.
- teaneedz 9y agoJust append !sp to your search query within DDG and you'll get Googly results without having to send data to Google when the latter happens.
- dualogy 9y agoNice, better than whipping up a Private Browsing Incognito tab just to spite Alphabet Inc =)
- pmarreck 9y agoBased on this comment and others, I have made my default search engine DDG. Will try it out for a while.
