I find google unusably bad. It changes results based on where I am and on the time of day. It's unstable. It gives me what it thinks I want, not what I ask for.

I find google unusably bad. It changes results based on where I am and on the time of day. It's unstable. It gives me what it thinks I want, not what I ask for.
In contrast ddg is always giving the same result, changing only with the addition of new data to the web over time.
I'm curious what you find unusable about ddg in contrast?
For several years I have never had a situation where dropping into Google gave me the result I thought I could find. If ddg isn't finding it, it doesn't exist.
Could we be using search differently?
- Scarblac 7y agoThe thing is that for me, Google is often right when it gives me what it thinks I want, and Duck Duck Go gives pages of things I don't. For many easy queries (where I really know where the thing I'm looking for is, but it's easier to just do a quick search and click the result) both are fine. But when I have an obscure problem and don't quite know what the right search terms would be, Google often guesses right and DDG doesn't try.
