DDG has been improving a lot over the past few months, though IMO it's still far from perfect. It also still lacks the math and conversion tools from google ("19 gigabit / 10000 milliseconds in TBit/s")

That didn't work for me :( Google have already indexed your comment though!

  Looks like you have to spell out the whole word terabit, or abbreviate it to Tb.

  Sometimes google is a bit fiddly with the exact formatting but they usually get it eventually. I would love a feature like that in DDG.

I prefix those queries with !wa. It's fairly slow, but it does much better unit conversions than Google and the scale comparisons are usually fun and often useful.

I recommend https://wolframalpha.com https://wolframalpha.com as a replacement for those types of queries. It’s even better than Google for that.
