Whenever people complain about DDG's search results I am always a bit baffled. It works 95% of the time for me and that 5% is occurs when I am searching for the answer to some obscure bug. I know this is your word against mine but "garbage" is a bit of an exaggeration.
- k3liutZu 7y ago> 5% is occurs when I am searching for the answer to some obscure bug I think these are a majority of my searches, hence I had to switch back to google as DDG was almost never finding me any relevant result.
- swebs 7y agoTry Startpage. It uses Google results, but anonymized and without personalization.
- majjam 7y agoYou don't just use the bangs (g!)? Or is that what you mean by switching back?
- maest 7y agoFor balance, i find around 30% of results to be bad. One really annoying thing is that python searches keep surfacing the python2 official docs instead of the python3 ones. Ddg is my main search engine, but I find I fall back to g! queries more and more often.
