This is the key point - I'm sure DDG or Bing or any other search engine is just as good as Google for typical/mainstream searches, but every time I try to switch to another search engine I'm always reminded how much better Google is at retrieving relevant search results for obscure queries.
- freediver 8y agoJust curious what exact queries you have to to Google for?
- amanzi 8y agoOne example I've found where Google excels is when I'm troubleshooting a technical issue and paste a snippet of an obscure-looking error message into the search box. Many times when I've been using DDG I would get little to no results, but the same search in Google would yield usable results. This erodes my confidence in DDG and so even for simple searches I'm never sure I'm getting the best results with DDG.
