Same, my problem is that whenever I search for something that isn't english DDG can't find even the most basic stuff. Aside from that the migration has been pretty painless for me though so I have my hopes up.
- naibafo 6y agoHave you set the localization to whatever language you are searching in? At least for German it has been working well that way IMO
- pastrami_panda 6y agoI have no idea how I missed that! For those unaware there's a little toggle just beneath the search bar - and yes, it did improve the results! Thanks!
- naibafo 6y agonice happy to hear that. You're welcome
- DarkWiiPlayer 6y agoThat has been one reason why I prefer DDG to google since day 1; I can tell it to give me stuff from my region, or just international. Considering I use the internet in english 98% of the time but occasionally need something specific to Germany, that's very useful indeed :D
- NikkiA 6y agoGoogle used to have the same feature a long long time ago, in fact I'd have sworn that DDG copied it from google.
- lostlogin 6y agoHoly crap, missed by me too. It was set correctly but wasn’t turned on. Thanks.
- rietta 6y agoI find myself throwing !g when I want to find a programming specific thing. Not sure this is because Google's results for niche tech sites is better or because I am more familiar with how to craft these as Google queries having used it almost exclusively since 1998.
- krick 6y agoWorks fine with Russian. Shows "In partnership with Yandex" badge (Yandex is a major Russian search/email/etc company) in the corner on some searches. Whatever "partnership" means...
