Can you give some tips about how you adjusted your search queries? Whenever I tried to use DDG I wouldn't be able to get results from it that were as good as Google's.
- ctrl-j 9y agoIndeed. I like the idea of DDG. However, I always ended up getting my results by doing "g! <my search query>" I stopped using it because it ended up being extra time spent running my google queries.
- fpoling 9y agoThis is very subjective and I am not sure that it even matches the reality (it could be that within the last 6 months the search engines changed), but with DuckDuckGo I stopped to use verbs at all. Another thing is that at least for searches about IT Google prioritise recently posted/changed pages more so with DuckDuckGo I often added 2017 to get the latest hype (soon to be changed to 2018 :) ). Whatever it was at the beginning of the switch I used to use Google on a daily basis when DDG results were not good. Then in few months it pretty much stopped.
