For anyone on the fence about using DuckDuckGo instead of Google, if you don't find what you're looking for, it's easy to revert to a Google search by typing "!google" with your query.
DDG has improved a lot with time, so I almost never fall back to Google anymore.
For some technical searches that DDG can't find, I find codeseek.com is better than both Google and DDG
- fgkramer 6y ago!g for the lazy!
- mthoms 6y agoFor the even lazier, here's a Greasemonkey/Tampermonkey script that adds a "Google" button to the DDG results page. Just click it if you don't like DDG's results and you'll be taken to Google for the same search term.

- hundchenkatze 6y agoThat sounds like way more effort than typing !g :P
- npmaile 6y agoif typing "!google" is too much of a hassle "!g" also works. you can also do pretty much any letter and it will search another service from bing to yahoo to images to maps to wikipedia to whatever.
- goblin89 6y agoI often use !hn in DuckDuckGo, which redirects to this website’s search.
- koheripbal 6y agoYou only need to type g! (or !g - it works either way)
