DDG is a bit US centric but despite that I use it for nearly everything. On the rare occassion it's not returning good enough results (images or certain UK specific stuff) I just use the aforementioned suffix g!.
Give it a go, takes a little time before you feel comfortable being away from Google's excellent search engine but I got fedup seeing adverts for things I'd previously browsed on other sites, so adios Google.
- ninju 9y agoIt it !g or g! Just trying to understand the placement of the exclamation point
- ljcn 9y agoExclamation mark first. See https://duckduckgo.com/bang https://duckduckgo.com/bang
- DiThi 9y agoBoth work, but "!g" is less ambiguous. Also it works both at the beginning and the end of the search, so I can append "!g" to the end after searching, without having to click precisely or to add an space.
- ljcn 9y agoInteresting, I didn't know that. Note you can put a bang anywhere in the query, not just the start or end (but your trick about putting it at the end to avoid typing the space is nice).
- ljcn 9y agoTry r:uk or click the toggle for the UK (or whatever country you select/it gets from GeoIP).
