I use DDG as default search for little over a year now. Mostly I am quite happy with it, and do not have to fall back to Google.
But for some searches I do have to do that. E.g. searching for a HN discussion from the last week: usually no hit. Also image and video search yield surprisingly little results. This last thing is my biggest complaint on DDG.
- Aaronn 8y agoFor HN specifically, !hn usually works pretty well in DDG.
- hollerith 8y agoThis will find HN {stories,comments,both} from last week: https://hn.algolia.com/?query=%s&sort=byDate&type={story,comment,all} https://hn.algolia.com/?query=%s&sort=byDate&type={story,com...
- Proven 8y agoSure, sometimes I too benefit from adding a !g to the search query. The perverse pleasure of knowing Google is out of the loop is a good compensation for a slightly worse search experience
