DuckDuckGo certainly does the trick for general web search, but like you I'm really tied in to Gmail/Talk/Reader for my personal life and Google Apps for Business for my work life. Unfortunately, replacing these isn't entirely up to me at this point and I imagine a lot of people are in this boat.
- mike_h 16y agoThe only thing keeping me on gmail right now is the spam filter, which seems to be the best on the planet. Can anyone recommend an alternative filter? (been using DDG for search for about 6 months now, rarely if ever get better results on google)
- ams6110 16y agoDo you really get that much spam? I've had the same email address since 1990, I use it pretty much everywhere, and I get maybe 10 spam emails a day, with no filters.
- Pistos2 16y agoI find that extremely hard to believe. Do you have some very anomalous usage patterns, such as never using that address to register on websites, and never having it posted anywhere spider-crawlable on the Internet? I'd wager that an address that is bot-scrapable would soon see dozens of spam messages a day, if not much more.
- rufugee 16y agoI tried DDG for awhile, an honestly found the search results to be lacking compared to Google. YMMV.
